Den første jeg vil takke er min veileder Knut Ødegård, for konstruktive tilbakemeldinger og givende veiledningssamtaler. En stor takk skal også rettes til Det norske instituttet i Athen, som var behjelpelige med både husrom og adgang til biblioteket mens jeg var på arkivreise der. Jeg vil også takke The British Museum, for tillatelse til å bruke et av deres bilder i denne oppgaven. En stor takk til mamma og pappa, som har støttet meg gjennom hele min utdannelse, og ikke minst takk for alle økonomiske bidrag, som har sponset denne oppgaven. Til slutt vil jeg takke Bjørg Ida Berget for engasjerende peptalks og oppmuntrende samtaler på Fredrikke, da vi satt og rev oss i håret over hver vår masteroppgave.

  • The Heroes PREFACE MY DEAR CHILDREN
    The Heroes PREFACE MY DEAR CHILDREN, Some of you have heard already of the old Greeks; and all of you, as you grow up, will hear more and more of them. Those of you who are boys will, perhaps, spend a great deal of time in reading Greek books; and the girls, though they may not learn Greek, will be sure to come across a great many stories taken from Greek history, and to see, I may say every day, things which we should not have had if it had not been for these old Greeks. You can hardly find a well-written book which has not in it Greek names, and words, and proverbs; you cannot walk through a great town without passing Greek buildings; you cannot go into a well-furnished room without seeing Greek statues and ornaments, even Greek patterns of furniture and paper; so strangely have these old Greeks left their mark behind them upon this modern world in which we now live. And as you grow up, and read more and more, you will find that we owe to these old Greeks the beginners of all our mathematics and geometry - that is, the science and knowledge of numbers, and of the shapes of things, and of the forces which make things move and stand at rest; and the beginnings of our geography and astronomy; and of our laws, and freedom, and politics - that is, the science of how to rule a country, and make it peaceful and strong. And we owe to them, too, the beginning of our logic - that is, the study of words and of reasoning; and of our metaphysics - that is, the study of our own thoughts and souls.

  • The Eleusinian Mysteries & Rites
    THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES & RITES DUDLEY WRIGHT THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES AND RITES THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES ^ RITES BY DUDLEY WRIGHT INTRODUCTION BY THE REV. J. FORT NEWTON, D.Litt., D.D. Past Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of lowa^ U.S.tA. THE THEOSOPHICAL PUBLISHING HOUSE I UPPER WOBURN PLACE LONDON, W.C.I "THE SQUARE & COMPASS," 4, 412, Beach Court, Denver, Colo. U.S.A. n CO 5 U ^ PREFACE AT one time the Mysteries of the various nations were the only vehicle of religion throughout the world, and it is not impossible that the very name of religion might have become obsolete but for the support of the periodical celebrations which preserved all the forms and ceremonials, rites and practices of sacred worship. With regard to the connection, supposed or real, between Freemasonry and the Mysteries, it is a remarkable coincidence that there is scarcely a single ceremony in the former that has not its corresponding rite in one or other of the Ancient Mysteries. The question as to which is the original is an important one to the student. The Masonic antiquarian maintains that Freemasonry is not a scion snatched with a violent hand from the Mysteries—whether Pythagorean, Hermetic, Samothracian, Eleusinian, Drusian, Druidical, or the Uke—but is the original institution, from which all the Mysteries were derived. 8 ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES AND RITES In the opinion of the renowned Dr. George Ohver : *' There is ample testimony to estabhsh the fact that the Mysteries of all nations were originally the same, and diversified only by the accidental circumstances of local situation and pohtical economy." The original foundation of the Mysteries has, however, never been established.
