... My first impression upon reading Oedipus and Akhnaton was that Velikovsky had succeeded in the identification of Oedipus and Akhnaton, an impression influenced more by the charm of Velikovsky's writing style, perhaps, than by the weight of the evidence. Eventually, however, I was led to the conclusion that Velikovsky was mistaken concerning the historical personages behind the Oedipus myth. Indeed, it was while pursuing research inspired by Velikovsky's novel ideas with regard to the recent history of the solar system that I was led to the conclusion that the myth of Oedipus had virtually nothing to do with palatial intrigue at the human level; rather, it appeared to have been inspired by celestial events. This is more ...

' If this observation is true - and most American myths seem to confirm Farnell's statement - then the question arises whether it was in fact ...

... : the mythical vision of Saturn's reign over the beginnings of human civilization. Amy Acheson thoth@whidbey.com- NOTES ON THE COMPARATIVE METHOD By Ev Cochrane The science of mythology, as I've come to practice it, has three primary components, each entirely dependent upon the comparative method: (1 ) the demonstration of parallels between the myths and mythical characters of different cultures; (2 ) the identification of various mythical characters with the respective planetary bodies (or in some cases, as in that of the Babylonian Sin, with some property of this or that planet); and (3 ) a reconstruction of the celestial scenario behind the respective myths-specifically, an analysis of ...

... extraordinary literature. The invention of writing had taken place maybe several hundred years earlier but already the Sumerian and Egyptian languages were replete with metaphor, a rapid evolution which testifies to the powers of observation of our ancestors and to the richness of their experience. However, much of the literature of the time (certainly that portion thought of as myth') is so unusual in content and so different from modern understanding that scholars are wont to regard it as fantasy', having little or no basis in reality. Although this is a widely held and authoritative view, its adoption leaves us with a dearth of information concerning the actual experience of men in early literate civilisations. Our ...
