... . --it stands to reason that there must be some. Eric: I am assuming that if the answer is that most important mythological traditions have indeed been considered it is because those are regarded as the oldest and most reliable ones to testthe theory on. Dwardu: Correct. Ev: Again I would agree with Dwardu with the caveat that myths first committed to writing in relatively recent times- such as the Irish traditions surrounding Cuchulainn- often preserve very old themes, while some traditions recorded very early on- the Enuma Elish, for example- appear very contaminated and are thus less reliable for reconstructing ancient history. Eric: But, what can be done with the rest, if ...

373. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... slabs he carried down the mountain. However a simplistic interpretation of the story is possible, treading warily round what might be later editing of the Pentateuch. Moses' shining' 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 into the story - an insertion of Law. The Covenant, in the original story, was probably made on the top of the mountain with a blood sacrifice of some ...
374. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... a sign to meteorologists to prepare for depressions. One of the greatest and most reliable signs of all are volcanic eruptions, for reasons which I shall proceed to outline. THE RIDDLE OF THE EARTH CHAPTER III VOLCANIC SYSTEMS CLIMAX OF ERUPTION SUDDEN FROM the very earliest days volcanic mountains became the objects of intense religious devotion, as conveyed in such myths as those of Mt. Atlas, Prometheus, and Mt. Culhuacan (of the Aztecs), and any one who reads the Book of Exodus with care will acknowledge that Moses when he led the children of Israel to the burning mountain conducted them to a volcano, where they witnessed the presence of God as fire, otherwise as ...

... night, the gods themselves battling furiously in the heavens. And yet, from this descent into chaos, a new world emerged, now re-configured, but with the Universal Monarch himself, rejuvenated and transformed, assuming his rightful place in the heavens. THE END What an outrageous claim to make- to suggest that there are no domains of ancient myth that can be isolated from this singular story! But I am not just arguing by proclamation here. I am contending that the truth can be demonstrated by following certain rules. Call these the RULES FOR RE-ENVISIONING HUMAN HISTORY. Our first rule is: we will always work from the general motif to the specific. A second is: ...

377. He Who Shines by Day [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , offers a confirmation. The Temple was erected in the glorious late period of empire. The Athenians, subconsciously true to remote history, set their Pallas Athena pediment facing directly and accurately towards the marshes of present-day Tunisia, and portrayed on the pediment the birth of Pallas Athena [3 ]. In the manner of legend, an alternative myth is offered. "Some Hellenes say that Athena had a father named Pallas, a winged goatish giant, who later attempted to outrage her, and whose name she added to her own after stripping him of skin to make the aegis, and of his wings for her own shoulders...." [4 ]. Hardly ...

379. Conclusion (In the Beginning: God) [Books]
... From: In the Beginning: God by H. S. Bellamy CD Home | Contents In the Beginning: God XVII Conclusion With this we have exhausted the mythological material contained in the Book of Genesis. In the light of Hoerbiger's Theory of the satellites of the Earth the different myths revealed new interesting, and exciting meanings, meanings moreover, which had never been attributed to them before. When we now look back upon the material we have discussed it is not without a certain regret chiefly, that it was so scanty and so fragmentary. Yet Hoerbiger's Theory helped us to gain a satisfactory picture in spite of the lacunae caused by the tooth of time and by the ...

... only my own proof' for it that is wrong. It remains to be seen whether the 0.1 itself is wrong. Presumably it is but that will have to be decided on other grounds and in some other context. Lynn E. Rose, Solana Beach, California Configuratively speaking I have written before about the inadequacy of interpreting myths only in terms of comets and meteors ( 'Comets or Configuration', C&CR 1996:1 , p. 64). In the same issue (p . 33), Phillip Clapham had a short item entitled The Eloquent Talking Head of Bran', where he presents much interesting myth about heads. He interprets these ...
