... ," in Sagittarius. A Dyak hero, climbing a tree in "Whirlpool-Island," lands himself in the Pleiades. But generally, one looks for "it" in the more or less northwest/north-northwest direction, a direction where, equally vaguely, Kronos-Saturn is supposed to sleep in his golden cave notwithstanding the blunt statements (by Homer) that Kronos was hurled down into deepest Tartaros. And from those "infernal" quarters, particularly from the (Ogygian) Stygian landscape, "one"— who else but the souls?— sees the celestial South Pole, invisible to us. The reader might agree that this summary shows clearly the insufficiency of the general terminology ...

... on the Turtle, symbolizing standing on the elemental fire of all living; up borne as he bears up. Atlas symbolizes the magnetic polarity on earth of the cardinal cross. The four different heads or points of this magnetic polarity are correlative to the pole of the cardinal cross of heaven. Atlas also represents the supporter of the heavens. Homer called him the keeper of the pillars that hold heaven and earth asunder. Many fables have arisen of Atlas, and his great love for the stars, hence his dwelling on the higher peaks of mountains. Associated with the six Pleiades after the seventh had disappeared was the number of the Logos, or Holy Spirit. The six were ...

... 33) Take here the original passages of the four old authors that still remain, as to this transit of Alexander the Great over the Pamphylian Sea: I mean, of Callisthenes, Strabu, Arrian, and Appian. As to Callisthenes, who himself accompanied Alexander in this expedition, Eustathius, in his Notes on the third Iliad of Homer, (as Dr. Bernard here informs us,) says, That "this Callisthenes wrote how the Pamphylian Sea did not only open a passage for Alexander, but, by rising and did pay him homage as its king." Strabo's is this (Geog. B. XIV. p. 666): "Now about ...
426. The Sacred Theory of the Earth by Dr. Thomas Burnet [Books]
... and another for another, which is the vain temerity of modern authors; as if they could tell to an acre of land where Paradise stood, or could set their foot upon the centre of the Garden. These have corrupted and misrepresented the notion of our Paradise just as some Modern poets have the notion of the Elysian Fields, which Homer and the Ancients plac'd remote, on the extremities of the Earth, and these would make a little green meadow in Campania Felix to be the fam'd Elysian. Thus much concerning the Fathers, negatively; but to discover as far as we can, what their positive affections were in this argument, we may observe, that tho' ...

... the male and female sex. Female and Father is the mighty God Ericapaeus. The Egyptian Phtha, fully corresponding, as will hereafter be seen, both with Phnes and Brahrna, and like them breaking from the mundane egg, the demi-urgus, creator of all visible thing, was of double sex. In the Asclepian Dialogue, described to Homer, he is thrice called masculo-f eminine. "Hie ergo, qui solus est omnia no utriusque sexus foecunditate plenissimus semper voluntatis suae praegnans, parit semper quidquid voluerit procreare" The demiurgis in this, as in the other cases is represented as the parent rather than the creator of all kinds of beings. The great Baal of the Assyrians ...

... sister named Asteria or Asterie (one of the mothers of Herakles) who is otherwise the daughter of Polos and Phoibe, which equates Laths father Kolos with Polos the polar deity. Kotos is of course the hollow heavens. Where Asterie fell in the Ocean, there arose all island, called D6los (or Asterite or Ortugia). But Homer made Kronos the father of Lath it is all in the family. Zeus leaving taken too much notice of Lath, Hera created the Python serpent to torment her: This may have an important bearing on the serpent curled-on round the axis-rod of Hermes. She took refugein the island DLlos; and there, at the Olive-tree of the Universe ...
... many phases and is an excellent illustration of the migration of symbols. Its classic type held in the hand of Mercury and used today as a symbol of the healing art, a winged rod round which two serpents are symmetrically entwined, is due to the mythographers of later times, and is very remote from its primitive form. In the Homeric hymn it is called "the golden rod, three-petaled of happiness and wealth," which Phoebus gave to the youthful Hermes, but on early Greek monuments the three leaves are represented by a disk surmounted by an incomplete circle. In this shape it constantly appears on Phoenician monuments; and at Carthage, where it seems to have been ...
