... 18) Any discussion of Pallas Athena must take into consideration the peculiar traditions surrounding the palladium. According to the unanimous testimony of the Greeks themselves, the palladium was an image of the goddess as warrior (the word palladium is the diminutive of Pallas) said to have fallen from heaven as a meteor-like object. (19) Palladia formed sacred objects in various ancient cities, their presence allegedly vouchsafing the security of the city, as in the famous legend surrounding Troy. Of the palladium Nilsson observed: It is hidden in a secret place in the interior of the citadel or palace and is the pledge of the welfare and existence of the town, which cannot be conquered, ...
122. Aster and Disaster: Toward a Catastrophist Mode of Mythological Interpretation [Journals] [Kronos]
... became Standard Greek during the Hellenistic Age - had at least five clearly discriminable meanings: 1. word or thought (as opposed to deed or action) 2. fiction or drama (as opposed to fact or occurrence) 3. legend (as opposed to history) 4. anonymous saying (as opposed to personal quotation) 5. sacred poetry (as opposed to prosaic report)(10) Etymology itself is of two types - historic and prehistoric. Historic etymology deals exclusively with documented forms, which can be attested from written sources. Prehistoric etymology, on the other hand, deals, at least in part, with undocumented or unattested forms, which must be reconstructed ...
... andesite, and not composed of sills, jambs, and lintels. Buildings thus reared will not collapse into heaps of rubble even under very severe shocks, and, if made of one piece, those points of weakness in the walls, the doors and windows, will not give way and trap the inmates. Thus, then, the Sacred City of Tiahuanaco was built. (Cf. Diagram 7, p 51.) The great Sun Temple of Kalasasaya, with its monumental eastern stairway and its marvellous Calendar Gate, was erected. A small hill, which seems to have been a stronghold already of the First Period, was artificially enlarged and shaped into the vast, ...
124. Astral Kingship [Journals] [Aeon]
... . (13) Also, like Cyrus before him, Alexander respected the Babylonian New Year Festival (14) and sought the approval of Babylon's great god Marduk. Not until this was accomplished did Alexander consider his political position fully legitimized. In fact, Alexander had to command that the temple of Marduk be rebuilt in order to reestablish the sacred formal surroundings necessary for his politico-religious investiture. (15) This move was necessitated by the previous actions of Xerxes who had destroyed the temple and melted down the eighteen-foot, eight-hundred-pound gold statue of Bel-Marduk in order to prevent just such a usurper from seizing power. With Marduk no longer in existence, Xerxes surmised that no future rebel would ...
... of the Ancients. Oriental Cosmogony. THE earliest doctrines of the Indian and Egyptian schools of philosophy agreed in ascribing the first creation of the world to an omnipotent and infinite Being. They concurred also in representing this Being, who had existed from all eternity, as having repeatedly destroyed and reproduced the world and all its inhabitants. In the sacred volume of the Hindoos, called the Ordinances of Menu, comprising the Indian system of duties religious and civil, we find a preliminary chapter treating of the Creation, in which the cosmogony is known to have been derived from earlier writings and traditions ; and principally from certain hymns of high antiquity, called the Vedas. These hymns were ...

... death of one hundred and eighty-five thousand warriors in the camp of the Assyrians before the walls of Jerusalem on the very first night of the siege. Herodotus recounts that he saw the statue of the god with a mouse in the palm of his hand, which was erected in memory of the event. Two cities in Egypt claimed the same sacred animal, the shrewmouse: Panopolis (Akhmim) in the south and Letopolis in the north. Herodotus did not travel to the south of Egypt; thus, he must have seen the statue in Letopolis. Even today many bronze mice, sometimes inscribed with the prayers of pilgrims, are found in the ground of Letopolis. Both cities ...
127. The Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in respect of evidence which supports its central tenets. Early descriptions of the sun' and various planets from Mesopotamia and elsewhere describe them as occupying impossible' positions and moving in a manner which defies astronomical reality (as currently understood). The ancient sun god, for example, is said to rise' and set' upon the same sacred mountain [2 ]. The planet Venus is described as standing at the heart of heaven' or within the crescent of Sin [3 ]. Mars is pointed to as a principal agent behind eclipses' of the ancient sun god [4 ]. While none of these scenarios is possible in the current order of the solar system ...
... high priesthood, but that did not well know what the high priesthood was, such a mere rustic was he ! yet did they hail this man, without his own consent, out of the country, as if they were acting a play upon the stage, and adorned him with a counterfeit thee; they also put upon him the sacred garments, and upon every occasion instructed him what he was to do. This horrid piece of wickedness was sport and pastime with them, but occasioned the other priests, who at a distance saw their law made a jest of, to shed tears, and sorely lament the dissolution of such a sacred dignity. 9. And now ...
... and Samaritans, and the inhabitants of Celesyria, to restore those villages which they had taken from the Jews; and that, besides all this, fifty talents should be given them for the building of the temple. He also permitted them to offer their appointed sacrifices, and that whatsoever the high priest and the priests wanted, and those sacred garments wherein they used to worship God, should be made at his own charges; .and that the musical instruments which the Levites used in singing hymns to God should be given them. Moreover, he charged them, that portions of land should be given to those that guarded the city and the temple, as also a determinate ...
