... like nasty horse-heads, which had been hardened in the smoke;" these awkward characters probably fitted the Solymi of Pisidi no better than they did the Jews in Judea. And indeed this reproachful language, here given these people, is to me a strong indication that they were the poor despicable Jews, and not the Pisidian Solymi celebrated in Homer, whom Cherilus here describes; nor are we to expect that either Cherilus or Hecateus, or any other pagan writers cited by Josephus and Eusebius, made no mistakes in the Jewish history. If by comparing their testimonies with the more authentic records of that nation we find them for the main to confirm the same, as we almost ...
432. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... to investigate such terms as "Tower isle", "Turania", "Turin", "Turnus", etc., for they all have the right "twist" in them. But this endless chain warns me to return to the Kronos the Timegiver and the Tower as a Time Dial. It is well known that the Homeric epics maintain that Latona, who gave birth to the boreal sun under the Delian palm, was the daughter of Kronos. Now Latona was simply the "concealor" and hence a vapory product from the Kronian canopy, and it had to reach its resting place in the polar sky as a concealor, and her last effort was simply ...

... , to Odusseus. Peistnor is clearly I think Rope 128 man, that is the man who anchors the world by his cable. Compare the etymology of Seirios and under "The Polestar." He was also a Centaur and the father of Kleitos the companion of PoluDamas the All-conqueror, a parallel to the Indian ChakraVartin or Universal Emperor. Homer attributes to PoluDamas the exclusive knowledge of the future and the past that is he was a Sphere-of-Fortune, a wheel (chakra) -god. His putting a patent break on the hind wheels of a chariot in full career must be understood of his control of the Universe-chariot. The Bull that he seizes by the hindleg, and that ...

435. Night of the Gods: The Stone [Books]
... be so, all I can say is, vox populi vox dei, a qualification which applies to a vast quantity of other folklore. Nothing can well be more mythic than tile geography and position of the ancient terrestrial Magnesia Strabo (ix, 429) seems to put it in South-East Thessaly, where were also Mounts Pelion and Ossa, Homer gave no precise information. Its inhabitants were vaguely the Magnetes,12 and the sole town that Magnes himself is fabled to have founded he called Meliboia after his consort.13There seems to be very little danger in opining that this last name discloses a Bee-goddess of the starry heavens, and her abode. Magnesia, in fact, remains ...

... 71 and 102) by itself an invitation to undertake a survey of all debated and unsolved chronological problems where datings differ by centuries? The problem of the so-called Dark Ages in the Near East, for five centuries following -1200 could be greatly illuminated, also the question of the true interval between the Mycenaean and the Greek Ages, and the Homeric question tied to it. This morning the radio announced that W. F. Libby was awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry. With this letter I make one last effort to convey to you that problems of great importance and urgency should not be left undecided and waiting their turn for the Carbon test till after the determination of dates of ...

... a new or errant course, the parallels are suggestive, as if the appearance of what seemed to be a giant serpent in the sky marked the apparent end of celestial stability. This also accords well with Cleopatra's role as Eve to Antony's as Adam, which Davidson also establishes. She is also Circe, as described in Chapman's translation of Homer, holding out a cup of sensual pleasure which transforms men into beasts - or stable planets into unstable bodies - and we are told her poison is associated with sweetness. Not surprisingly, Chapman's translation describes Circe disguising her "harme full venoms" with honey as well as with other nourishing food and drink [64]. We might ...

... the same time. These migrants, he suggests, were the proto-Greeks. The appearance of literature such as the Tale of Sinuhe, the Shipwrecked Sailor, and the Eloquent Peasant, are, he says, related to saga-heroes adventuring in unreal regions and achieving remarkable exploits. These sagas reappear at the end of the MB and LB (the Homeric poems) and in dark-age Europe, and were spread by one related people, the Aryans, enjoying heroic adventure as a basis of literary expression. The so-called Semitic alphabet, he adds, has its parallel in the early Greek alphabet (assumed to have been diffused by the Phoenicians), but Burton-Brown suggests a common source, a ...
