His city, Cutha, becomes a poetical designation for the great gathering place of the dead, and his name is explained, perhaps fancifully, as lord of the great dwelling, ' that is, the graveThe various names assigned to him, almost without exception, emphasize this forbidding phase of his nature, and the myths associated with him deal with destruction, pestilence, and death...In Babylonian astrology, he is identified with the planet Mars, and the omen-literature shows that Mars in ancient days, as still at the present time, was regarded as the planet unlucky above all others."

... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 24 Ascertaining the Year of the Capture It would surely be a most intriguing study to investigate the question in which year- approximately, if the exact date be no more ascertainable- the planet Luna was forced into vassalage. This not so impossible a task as may be supposed. The capture of a satellite is an event of such magnitude that men would refer to it again and again, and regard it as the beginning of a new aeon. We determine the succession of historical happenings from the year -fictitious, not actual - of the birth of Christ. This has ...

... neat packages. Secondly, the catastrophist position became more foolish and caricatured in the constant retelling." (10) (Emphasis added) In Gould's review of Jeremy Rifkin's book, Algeny, he is deeply disturbed because, "The basic argument of Algeny rests upon a parody of an important theme advanced by contemporary historians of science against the myth of objectivity and inexorable scientific progress. [Gould then delineates the theme and charges] But in Rifkin's hands this theme becomes a caricature." (11) Gould further castigates Rifkin because "[ h ]e caricatures my own theory of punctuated equilibrium as a sudden response to ecological catastrophe." (12) He also shows his ...
356. "Heaven and Earth": Catastrophism in Hamlet [Journals] [Kronos]
... earliest that man remembers . . . the Saturnian experience has been the greatest "single" event which has most affected mankind through the ages - as it still continues to do to this day. Cardona is of course correct, but specific illustrations of the parallels between the stories of Oedipus, Hamlet, and Saturn-Kronos, and their reflection in myth and religion, will be presented later. For the moment, we need only keep Cardona's warning in mind that mankind has experienced several planetary catastrophes over thousands of years, each of which may be recorded in myth and art.] The importance for Fergusson of establishing structural similarities between Hamlet and Oedipus Rex is that it permits him to ...

... of beauty, awe, and terror. The "myth-making" epoch was unlike anything which followed. With the drifting away of the planetary gods, attention shifted radically to the tools for remembering. Through mythical representations and reenactments, our ancestors sought to keep alive and to give meaning to experiences more intense than anything experienced in later times. Myth requires an active imagination, but something more as well. Always the myths point to EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS re-defining the course of human history. A study of the archetypes- the first forms and enduring themes of myth- will show that they are already present with the flowering of civilization. AND NONE ARE ADDED OVER THE SUBSEQUENT MILLENNIA. Though quite remarkable ...
... be certain to happen if the southern intruders worshipped the moon in the first line. Further, if in later times he represented both sun and moon, as he certainly did, it is not probable that he did so from the beginning. All the special symbolism refers to him as a Moon-god; he is certainly a Moon-god in the myth of Iris and Osiris, for he was cut into fourteen pieces, the number of days of the waning moon. Now we can easily understand an evolution beginning with a Moon-god and ending with a Sun-god. But the contrary is almost unthinkable, besides, we know that in Egypt it did not happen; the solar attributes got hardened ...
