The author mentions the similarity of this to what is told about the Sasquatch, but it also applies to the Himalayan Yeti and other mythical' beasts.

For life was hard in the mountains, and was presently to become harder still (109e). No special `Athenian deluge myth' has been preserved in Greek mythology, but there can be no doubt that such a myth existed at one time, for there are many vestiges in religious rites. For instance, there is that ...
723. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ' appearance reflected the shining nature of the Lord: maybe he did not actually shine of his own accord. Perhaps the description is symbolic; the mountain itself, in myth, was a symbol of deity. By climbing a specific mountain Moses was in effect communing with the Lord: the stone slabs of testimony may be a later insertion ... with Venus, a goddess. However, Chiun appears to be cognate with Indo European kian = a giant, variously cheon, a hound of heaven that reappears in Norse mythology as the Fenris Wolf. On that kind of basis a connection between Lucifer and giants in the sky is apt. A lightning bolt or meteor was quite capable of ...
724. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... The sun arose out of southern waters. Creation was next, but humans were already created, else they would not be watching the chaos. Now we compare this Hindu myth with an analogous but distinct Hindu myth. The world was dark and asleep until the great Demiurge appeared and scattered the shades of darkness. He then laid the seed ... Ouranos and children of Hyperion and Thea [20]. Also, in genesis, light came before the sun and stars. In the Pyramid texts, the earliest extant mythological account, the moon is not prominent in the already then old cosmogony. The texts originate in the Mercurian period (Thoth is the Egyptian god) probably between 4480-4137 ...

... which was based mainly on fishing and seafood, including seaweed, very similar to the modern Japanese diet. In fact, Hancock ushers in evidence that a lot of Japanese myth may have roots in the Jomon culture and the Shinto religion too. His idea is that they venerated the landscape and the natural world, even engineering changes in the ... in the story of the giant Albion, suitably Christianised as St Alban. Hancock is quite strained at this point but he is on stronger ground when he compares a Japanese mythic theme with the ark of Moses cast on the waters of the Nile, a theme that also pops up in pagan Anglo-Saxon myth and in the story of Sargon of ...

... based on fact. Attempts to verify the possibility of the former deserve consideration. Dr. Alyson Lander, Tullamore, N.S .W ., Australia. On Myth and Logos Dear Sir, I should like to express my disapproval of the way Derek Douglass ( WORKSHOP vol.2 no.3 p.9 ) in his ... Dear Sir, Ms. Bekker's letter ( WORKSHOP vol.2 . no.3 , p.12) suggests that some reflection on the provenance of Circe in Greek mythology and further reflection on basic facts of etymology would not go amiss. For Ms. Bekker's benefit, Circe was accounted the daughter of Helios and the ocean nymph Perseis ...
727. Saturn before the Sun [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... inconsistencies and identifications, as well as those who have pointed them out in the past, owe us an apology. It then becomes necessary to rewrite just about all of mythology. It will also become obvious that, with perhaps one or two exceptions, these characteristics and motions with which the ancients burdened their various "suns" and so-called ... was only later that some of these Saturnian names were transferred to the Sun - and thus the title of my paper. In view of this, it becomes manifest that mythologists, who have long ignored these inconsistencies and identifications, as well as those who have pointed them out in the past, owe us an apology. It then becomes ...

David Davis then spoke on behalf of Ev Cochrane, arguing that a lot, particularly of the early history, was mythological rather than actual, and a clue to a mythological figure is that similar stories are told from widely separated cultures. So attempts, for example, to find the ...

... be obtained from all these and other sources, including the old Egyptian calendars, and to compare the early Babylonian results with those which are to be gathered from the Egyptian myths and temple-orientations. It will, I think, be clear to anyone who reads this volume that its limits and the present state of our knowledge have only allowed me ... moments during the past three years to see whether any ideas could be obtained as to the early astronomical views of the Egyptians, from a study of their temples and the mythology connected with the various cults.
