... Hippolyte. After his members were drawin in sunder by foure horses, Esculapius at Neptun's request glewed them together and revived him. But several such successful operations and numerous remarkable cures, and especially the attempt to revive the dead Orion, led Pluto, who feared for the continuance of his kingdom, to induce Jove to strike Aesculapius with a thunderbolt and put him among the constellations. The figure also was associated with Caeoius, the Blinding One, slain by Hercules and celebrated by Dante in the Inferno; indeed, it is said that the Hero himself was assigned to these stars by Hyginus, and gave them his name: a confusion that may have arisen because the boundaries between ...
362. Scientific Dating Problems: The Radiometric Dating Of Earth's Rocks [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to varying degrees'. He then showed that many surface features on the moon and Mars might be explained in terms of cosmic electrical discharges involving these two bodies. His 1977 paper asks: Might we not imagine that new polonium (and uranium, too, for that matter) was created on Earth, and in place, by powerful thunderbolts? '. He argues that electric discharges of cosmic proportions should be capable of creating new elements' - by fusion. The strong nuclear force creates a field whose potential has the form of a crater: protons, neutrons and alpha particles, are confined in the potential well' of the crater.

... , and accused her of having sent her picture into Egypt to Antony, and that her lust was so extravagant, as to have thus showed herself, though she was absent, to a man that ran mad after women, and to a man that had it in his power to use violence to her. This charge fell like a thunderbolt upon Herod, and put him into disorder; and that especially, because his love to her occasioned him to be jealous, and because he considered with himself that Cleopatra was a shrewd woman, and that on her account Lysanias the king was taken off, as well as Malichus the Arabian; for his fear did not only extend ...
364. Did Thutmose III Despoil the Temple in Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the descent of Oronim, the Lord poured a storm of hailstones from heaven upon them... so that there were more who died by the hailstones, than the children of Israel slew with the sword in battle." (119) And Josephus comments: "God's co-operation [was] manifested by... the discharge of thunderbolts and the descent of hail of more than ordinary magnitude." (120) The Pharaoh obviously spent the night at Beth Horon the Nether (today: Beith Ur et-Tachta), right at the entrance to the dangerous part of the defile, which is already in the mountains (121). The next morning, according to the ...
365. From the Death of Isaac to the Exodus out of Egypt [Books]
... As soon, therefore, as ever the whole Egyptian army was within it, the sea flowed to its own place, and came down with a torrent raised by storms of wind, (30) and encompassed the Egyptians. Showers of rain also came down from the sky, and dreadful thunders and lightning, with flashes of fire. Thunderbolts also were darted upon them. Nor was there any thing which used to be sent by God upon men, as indications of his wrath, which did not happen at this time, for a dark and dismal night oppressed them. And thus did all these men perish, so that there was not one man left to be a ...
366. From Creation to the Death of Isaac [Books]
... . But Lot, upon God's informing him of the future destruction of the Sodomites, went away, taking with him his wife and daughters, who were two, and still virgins; for those that were betrothed (21) to them were above the thoughts of going, and deemed that Lot's words were trifling. God then cast a thunderbolt upon the city, and set it on fire, with its inhabitants; and laid waste the country with the like burning, as I formerly said when I wrote the Jewish War. (22) But Lot's wife continually turning back to view the city as she went from it, and being too nicely inquisitive what would become of ...
367. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... as having once done precisely that? Nonnos, for instance, told of the "shining victory of Zeus at war and the hailstorm snowstorm conflict of Kronos." [184] Is it in fact not written that during the war between Zeus and Kronos, a war which was said to have lasted ten years, Zeus pelted Kronos with thunderbolts, while Kronos retaliated with snow? And is it not told in the Persian Shahnama that when Kai Khusrau departed, he prophesied that "a furious blast" will rise "and snap the boughs and leafage of the trees" and that "a storm of snow will shower down from heaven's louring rack"? [185] In ...

... totally different in composition and the very largest of which is ten million times smaller than Venus. And as to May's assertion that comets in general came from Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn, I cannot imagine what evidence supports such an idea. Everyone admits that today planets do not burst forth from Jupiter and career about the solar system throwing thunderbolts at each other. As Dr. May notes, no unknown forces or arbitrary assumptions are required to account for the motions of planets and space probes today, and indeed celestial mechanics is one of the most exact and quantitative fields of modern technology, as the successes of the space program witness. However, May devotes a substantial discussion ...
... ): "There was tumult in the sky shaking the joints of the immovable universe; the very axle bent which runs through the rniddle of the revolving heavens. Libyan Atlas could hardly support the self-rolling firmament of stars, as he rested on his knees with bowed back under this greater burden." Zeus has to intervene and hurls his thunderbolt at the boy. Phaethon falls into the river Eridanus where, according to Apollonios Rhodios, the stench of his half-burned corpse made the Argonauts sick for several days when they came upon it in their travels (4 .619-23). 2 Met. 2.194-97: circumspice utrumque:/ fumat uterque polus quos si vitiaverit ignis/ ...
370. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... he relegated the goddess to the background together with Zeus and the rest, leaving Ares as the sole foreground protagonist. Now suppose someone was to reconstruct a cosmic scenario in which only the planet Jupiter is made to interact with the Earth? What would keep him or her, according to Shelley-Pearce's and Patten's methodology, from claiming Zeus and his thunderbolts, as described in the Iliad , as evidence for the thesis while relegating Ares, Athene, and the rest of the deities to the background? The rules of interpretation must apply to all the deities mentioned in the Iliad , and in the same way, or to none at all- otherwise the accusation of selectivity will be more ...
