... , Ev Cochrane, in keeping with the identification of Helel as Venus in its role of Morning Star- an identification that, up till then, even I had held to- attempted to fit what little we know of Helel from Isaiah's passage into the Saturnian scenario. In a paper which he published in AEON, he compared the Helel myth to others from Norse, Near Eastern, and Mesoamerican mythology and came to the conclusion that the rebellion against the Saturnian deity was actually led by the Venerian goddess. (18) In following articles, however, Cochrane also collected numerous comparative myths the collective strength of which indicate beyond a reasonable doubt that it was actually the Martian hero ...

This questioning within the sources not only gives modern historians a good starting point for investigating the events of Alexander's journey, but also provides an example of the ancient's approach to mythology. This paper will examine each of Alexander's encounters with the Amazons individually and propose conclusions concerning the myths by using the following method: first, each writer's account will be quoted, in English translation, (11) and discussed; then the writer's views concerning the events and their validity will be compared; finally, general conclusions about the nature of the myths and the writer's views of mythology will be discussed. The Offering of Amazon ...

... From: Kronos Vol. I No. 1 (Spring 1975) Home | Issue Contents Myth, Mandala, and the Collective Unconscious David Griffard In a comparative analysis of Greek with Phoenician, Babylonian, and other Indo-European mythologies, Littleton describes various parallels to a general theme, the kingship-of-heaven. "In each instance a single pattern of events is present: an existing generation of gods was preceded by two (and in some cases three) earlier generations of supernatural beings, each succeeding generation being presided over by a king of heaven' who has usurped (or at least assumed) the power of his predecessor. Moreover there is generally a fourth figure a monster of some ...
