  • Basilica Santa Maria Assunta in Torcello, Italy
    HADES AS THE RULER OF THE DAMNED IN THE MOSAIC COMPLEX ON THE WEST WALL OF BASILICA SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA IN TORCELLO, ITALY ALEKSANDRA KRAUZE-KOŁODZIEJ The aim of this article is to show the figure of the ancient god Hades as an important part of Byzantine symbolic representations of the Last Judgement, using the example of the mosaic from the west wall of Basilica Santa Maria Assunta in Torcello, Italy. The article is divided into three main parts. The first part briefly introduces the mosaic complex from Torcello, providing a description of the place, the Basilica, and the mosaic. In the second part, the author focuses on the fragment of the mosaic presenting the figure of Hades in hell. In an effort to show the iconographical and cultural continuity between ancient and early medieval representations, the author compares this figure to its ancient prototype. The last part of the article portrays the development of the motif of the Last Judgment by looking at other chosen representations. In conclusion, the author proposes a possible meaning of the presence of Hades in the mosaic of Torcello. Introduction “There [in Hades] also among the dead, so men tell, another Zeus [Haides] holds a last judgment upon misdeeds” (Aeschyl. Suppl. 230).1 Thus, the Greek tragedian describes one of the most mysterious and terrifying gods in the ancient world: Hades, the god of death. Although this mighty divinity already ruled the ancient Greek Underworld in the time of Homer (e.g. Hom. Il. 9,457; Hes. Theog. 455), he did not receive the power to judge the dead until the post-Homeric period (e.g.

  • NARAKA HELLS - an Account of Punishment for Sinful Living Entities
    If you ever wondered where you going after death, just look at the pictures. - PUNISHMENT IN 28 NARAKA HELLS - An account of punishment for sinful living entities Naraka (Sanskrit: नरक) meaning Hell, is a place of punishment for sinful living entities, where sinners are punished and tormented after death. In many scriptures we find details about various hells and sufferings therein. The Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Purāṇa describes different hells called Naraka. Naraka, as a whole, is known by many names conveying that it is the realm of Yama called Yamaloka or Mṛtyuloka – the realm of Death. Naraka-Loka - the hellish planets Naraka or Naraka-loka is also the abode of Yama, the god of Death. After death, the messengers of Yama called Yamadūtas bring all beings to the court of Yamarāja, where he weighs the virtues and the vices of the living beings and accordingly passes the appropriate judgement. Yama-rāja, as Lord of Justice, is also called Dharma-rāja. Yama sends the virtuous to Svarga-loka, the heavenly planets, to enjoy the luxuries of paradise. He also assesses the vices of the sinful and accords judgement, assigning them to appropriate hells as punishment commensurate with the severity and nature of their sins. The hellish planets are ruled by Yamarāja, the son of the sun-god. He resides in Pitṛloka with his personal assistants, performing his duty according to the rules and regulations laid down by the Supreme Lord. At the time of death, when the heart stops beating, the living entity, namely the soul, along with the subtle material body consisting of mind, intelligence and false ego, is dragged out by the subtle creatures, the Yamadūtas, the servants of the lord of death, from his gross material body consisting of earth, water, fire, air and ether.

  • Wikipedia on Naraka (Buddhist Hell)
    Buddhist Hell and the Substratum in Vedic Physics नरक By John Frederick Sweeney Abstract Just as the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Am Duat symbolize the substratum in the culture of Remotely Ancient Egypt (c. 14,000 BC), the concept of Buddhist Hell represents a devolution of Vedic Science. Indeed, Buddhism was formed because humanity had forgotten the lessons of the true spiritual science of the Vedas, Buddhism was an attempt to recover and reform the ancient science, albeit in a form more adapted to its time period. In this sense Buddhism is merely a derivative belief system of the Vedas, intended to compensate for the continued downfall of humanity. Buddhist descriptions of Hell may provide heuristic hints as to the state and condition of the Substratum. Table of Contents Introduction 3 Wikipedia on Naraka 5 (Buddhist Hell) 7 18 Quarks in Physics 24 The 50/49 Equation 26 Planck Constant and Avogadro Constant 29 Conclusion 33 Appendix: Srimad-Bhagavatam 38 Cover: mural from a temple in northern Thailand depicting naked sinners climbing thorn-covered trees, pecked by birds from above, and attacked from below by hell guards armed with spears. mountains in the background, and Phra Malaya watches from above Introduction In papers previously published on Vixra, the author has shown that black holes, Dark Matter and Dark Energy are all aspects of the Substratum, the invisible form of matter, from which all matter emerges and to which all matter returns in the form of decayed Photons, at the edge of the Universe. The Dao De Jing of Chinese Daoism clearly states that humanity has undergone a devolution since ancient times, at least since 14,000, prior to the last Ice Age.

  • Yama (Hinduism) - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    ימה ياما یاما Yama (Hinduism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama_(Hinduism) Yama (Hinduism) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Hindu mythology, Yama (Sanskrit: यम ) is the lord of death, first recorded in the Vedas. Yama belongs to an early stratum Yama of Indo-Iranian theology. In Vedic tradition Yama was Death considered to have been the first mortal who died and espied the way to the celestial abodes, thus in virtue of precedence he became the ruler of the departed. In some passages, however, he is already regarded as the god of death. Yama's name can be interpreted to mean "twin", and in some myths he is paired with a twin sister Yam ī. Yama is assisted by Chitragupta who is assigned with the task of keeping complete records of actions of human beings on the earth, and upon their death deciding to have them reincarnated as a superior or inferior organism, depending on their actions on the earth (Karma). Yama is also the lord of justice and is sometimes referred to Devanagari यम as Dharma, in reference to his unswerving dedication to maintaining order and adherence to harmony.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The Trip of a Lifetime Journeying to the Afterlife in Ancient Greece A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History With a Classical Topic At Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Rose Miriam Lisa Chalklen 2019 ii ABSTRACT Though there has been much scholarship on various aspects of death and the afterlife in ancient Greece, there has been little attempt to view the evidence in the context of the afterlife journey as a composite whole. This thesis aims to present a comprehensive study on different aspects of ancient Greek eschatology in the context of the afterlife journey, in order to reconstruct the process of the transition. This is achieved by investigating the eschatological themes and motifs which are reflected in ancient Greek literature, iconography, and archaeological remains. The text is loosely structured on a traveller’s ‘guide’, which consists of three basic stages of the afterlife journey: preparation, transit, and arrival. Chapter One outlines the actions undertaken in preparation for the soul’s journey to the afterlife, primarily regarding the performance of proper burial rites, which were imagined in early times to directly affect the soul’s incorporation into Hades, but by the Classical period were no longer necessary for entry into the afterlife. Still, certain practices, such as the provision of grave goods, did facilitate the soul’s journey to a certain extent.

  • Selected Poems by Contemporary Irish and Greek Poets

Marta Goszczyńska and Katarzyna Poloczek. Newcastle: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2011. 17-29. [p. 17] Chapter Two Openness and Light in the Dialogue between the North and the South: Selected Poems by Contemporary Irish and Greek Poets Joanna Kruczkowska Surrounded by sea waters and heavily tried by history, the Irish and the Greeks have had the experience of living on the border of openness and enclosure, light and darkness, both in the physical and the metaphorical sense. Literature in both countries has always abounded with epiphanies; in modern Ireland, marked by the spirit of Joyce and Yeats, epiphanies come famously explicit in the poetry of Seamus Heaney and Derek Mahon, while in Greece in the work of George Seferis and Odysseus Elytis. The crux of an epiphany resides in the light: the ancient Greek επιφάνεια meant “a revelation, coming to light” and was connected with the appearance of a deity. But in Modern Greek that crux lies also in the surface: επιφάνεια [epifania] means “surface” or “appearance” and is antonymous to the “inside,” “depth” and “essence,” however paradoxical it may sound. For the Irish, surface and openness is often embodied in the sea and the land; for the Greeks it would be the open sea as opposed to the land enclosed by the mountains. The opposite depth resides underground; for some Irish writers also in the bog or wells, for some Greeks in the sea bottom or cisterns.

  • Burial Customs, the Afterlife and the Pollution of Death in Ancient Greece
    Burial customs, the afterlife and pollution BURIAL CUSTOMS, THE AFTERLIFE AND THE POLLUTION OF DEATH IN ANCIENT GREECE ABSTRACT Funerary practices in ancient Greece were influenced by contemporary views on the afterlife and by concepts of pollution, but also by a desire to limit costs and a need to prevent the process of burial from causing inconvenience to the community or providing an opportunity for exploitation by those with ulterior political motives. Plato (Hippias Maior 291d and e) defined the ideal of any Greek as to be rich, healthy and honoured; to live to a grand old age; to bury his parents with honour, and ultimately to be buried in turn by his own children with due respect. This study investigates the views on disposing of the dead which were prevalent from the 8th to the 4th century BC in Greece, and in Attica in particular. The sources consulted include Homer’s epic poems, archaeological data and vase paintings, as well as the writings of later historians, philosophers and other prominent people. 1. THE VIEW OF THE AFTERLIFE There was never complete Pan-Hellenic uniformity on the concept of the hereafter, or more specifically Hades, but there were reasonably widely accepted mainstream thoughts and theories which reveal a clear line of development from the time of Homer to the Classical era (Gar- land 1985:1-12). Although there were thus divergent views on the immortality of the soul and related issues, particularly during the Clas- sical era (Kurtz & Boardman 1971:330-3), the prevailing view on the existence of the hereafter may be outlined as follows.
