UHM-PRPDC-0100 PR Set: 2019-04 Image Title: Europa's Rhadamanthys Linea Original Source: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona Image Released: 2019/04/11 Image Acquired: 1998/09/26 Instrument: Solid State Imager (SSI) Frame Number: PIA23166 Mission: Galileo Europa's surface is covered with a vast network of linear features such as cracks, ridges, and bands, as well as other smaller circular features that include pits, spots, domes, and microchaos. This image, created from clear-filter images taken on the Galileo spacecraft's 17th orbit around Jupiter and colorized with lower-resolution images taken on Galileo's first orbit around Jupiter (link to https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA00275), shows a huge variety of these feature types. Of particular note is the prominent ridge at the center of the image, called Rhadamanthys Linea. While most ridges have a reddish appearance in colorized images such as this enhanced color version, Rhadamanthys appears to have uneven blotches of darker, redder material which are more prominent in some locations than in others. Some scientists have interpreted the appearance of Rhadamanthys to indicate that it is a recently, or perhaps currently, active feature on Europa's surface. More on Rhadamanthys can be seen here: https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA01407. This image was taken using the Galileo Solid-State Imager (SSI) at a resolution of 224 meters per pixel. North is at the top, and the image is centered approximately at 30 degrees north latitude and 220 degrees longitude. The image was taken on September 26, 1998. The Galileo mission was managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, for the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena.

Egypt Was the Image of Heaven on Earth and Temple of the Whole World
Egypt was the image of heaven on earth and temple of the whole world Egypt was the image of heaven on earth and temple of the whole world v. 16.13, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 13 March 2019 Page 1 of 77 EGYPT WAS THE IMAGE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH ABSTRACT AND TRAIN OF THOUGHTS Abstract and train of thoughts 1 Ancient India and Egypt were the oldest group of nations Egypt sent no agents throughout the world to learn what others knew; but to her the wise men of neighbouring nations resorted for knowledge. 6 The Egyptian Pyramids antedate the upheaval of the Sahara and other deserts. 10 Ancient Greece owes everything to Egypt There is no comparison between the Egypt of old, with its perfection of art, science, and religion, its glorious cities and monuments, its swarming population, and the Egypt of today — peopled with strangers. 13 History got its first glimpse of the ancients when the arts were already fast degenerating among them. 16 The further back we go in history, the better and finer become these arts. 16 Ancient knowledge of thunder, lightning, and electricity antedates modern “discoveries.” 18 The Egyptian art of writing was perfect and complete from the very first. It was used as early as the days of Menes, the protomonarch. 21 Before Greece came into existence, the arts, with the Egyptians, were already ripe and old. 23 The Greeks learned all they knew, including the sacred services of the temple, from the Egyptians and, because of that, their principal temples were consecrated to Egyptian divinities.

1 Name 2 Zeus in Myth
Zeus For other uses, see Zeus (disambiguation). Zeus (English pronunciation: /ˈzjuːs/[3] ZEWS); Ancient Greek Ζεύς Zeús, pronounced [zdeǔ̯s] in Classical Attic; Modern Greek: Δίας Días pronounced [ˈði.as]) is the god of sky and thunder and the ruler of the Olympians of Mount Olympus. The name Zeus is cognate with the first element of Roman Jupiter, and Zeus and Jupiter became closely identified with each other. Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, and the youngest of his siblings. In most traditions he is married to Hera, although, at the oracle of Dodona, his consort The Chariot of Zeus, from an 1879 Stories from the Greek is Dione: according to the Iliad, he is the father of Tragedians by Alfred Church.

The Occult Undercurrents of the European Union
The Occult Undercurrents of the European Union The subject that has been headline news in all the papers and television in the UK for some time is – the European Referendum. Oh no! You cry, not more of that! It is, however, not just a political or economic issue, about massive immigration or European laws against our own, or even our sovereignty which is extremely important; for if we stay in Europe we can say goodbye to our democracy which has been our standard since the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215! Do we really want to be a small ‘one twenty-eighth’ of the EU and ‘in thrall’ to unelected European bureaucrats? Valid reasons to ponder on are below, and these are facts that will not emerge from the lips of any ‘Remain’ or ‘Brexit’ proponent because the real reason we ought to leave is not political or economic, but spiritual! Whilst the politicians are boring everyone rigid with their tales of gloom and doom and instilling fear into those susceptible, it seems that they have no idea whatsoever of the true nature of the European beast, and yet she has shown us her true colours since her inception. The European beast has a spiritual heart disguised by its policy making powers. The Treaty of Rome, an international agreement, which brought into being the European Union, was signed on 25 th of March 1957 by Belgium, France, Luxemburg, Italy, the Netherlands and West Germany. Notice that it was called the ‘Treaty of Rome’ this is important, for, in short, the European Union demonstrates rebellion against God in more than one way, and is a revival of the old Holy Roman Empire.

Greek Gods & Goddesses
Greek Gods & Goddesses The Greek Gods and GodessesMyths https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/olympians/ The Twelve Olympians In the ancient Greek world, the Twelve great gods and goddesses of the Greeks were referred to as the Olympian Gods, or the Twelve Olympians. The name of this powerful group of gods comes from Mount Olympus, where the council of 12 met to discuss matters. All 12 Olympians had a home on Mount Olympus and that was where they were most commonly found. HADES, the god of the Underworld, preferred to live there, and POSEIDON often chose to stay in his palace under the sea. Most of the other Olympians would be on Mount Olympus year round unless they were travelling. HESTIA used to be one of the Olympians, but the constant fighting and bickering between the gods annoyed her and she eventually gave up her seat to the god of wine, DIONYSUS. Even though she left the council, Hestia still kept a home on Mount Olympus. APHRODITE was on the council but, in most Greek mythological stories, her husband HEPHAESTUS was not. At the famous Parthenon temple in Greece, there is a statue of each of the 12 Olympian gods. Hades does not have a statue, but Hephaestus does. The question of who the 12 Olympians are really depends on who is telling the story. Nobody is truly sure if Hades of Hephaestus can be classed as the Twelfth Olympian. So, because of the way Greek myths were told and retold in different ways, there are actually 14 gods and goddesses who can be considered as an Olympian god.

Zeus in the Greek Mysteries) and Was Thought of As the Personification of Cyclic Law, the Causal Power of Expansion, and the Angel of Miracles
Ζεύς The Angel of Cycles and Solutions will help us get back on track. In the old schools this angel was known as Jupiter (Zeus in the Greek Mysteries) and was thought of as the personification of cyclic law, the Causal Power of expansion, and the angel of miracles.

If “Princess Europa” Returned to Her Namesake Today’: Robert Graves and Europa1 Nancy Rosenfeld
Critical Studies 627 ________________________________________________________________________________ ‘If “Princess Europa” returned to her namesake today’: Robert Graves and Europa1 Nancy Rosenfeld As noted in the Call for Papers, the Fourteenth International Robert Graves Society Conference (Palma and Deyá, Mallorca, 10-14 July 2018) ‘will explore any aspect of Graves and Europe, from his own life and work in Mallorca, to the relevance of his writing for [the] European present and future’. For Robert Graves the commonly-accepted separation between history, ethnography, mythology, the plastic arts, literature, and even governance and economics, was arguably less meaningful than modern academe’s traditional division into disciplines would usually have it. In this paper I examine Graves’s published references to Europa in The Greek Myths and The White Goddess as possible sites of Gravesean insights into the geographical-historical Europe in which he spent most of his life. I will also touch on ‘Hymn to Europa’, c. 150 BCE, an epyllion composed in Greek by the Alexandrian poet Moschus,2 with which Graves was surely familiar in the original Greek, and suggest that a Gravesean muse, such as the ‘woman of true royalty’ from his poem ‘The Secret Land’ is indeed a sister of Princess Europa: I never dared question my love About the government of her queendom Or its geography.3 This paper concludes with a look at Graves’s poem, ‘General Bloodstock’s Lament for England.’ Whether or not his insights are of use to those struggling with the meaning and ramifications of the United Kingdom’s decision to secede from the European Critical Studies 628 ________________________________________________________________________________ Union – the Brexit – is beyond the scope of this paper, but I venture to hope that Graves’s discussions of the etymology and mythological sources of Europe / Europa will be of interest.

Symbolism of the Apple in Greek Mythology Highgate Private School Nicosia, CYPRUS
Symbolism of the Apple in Greek Mythology Highgate Private School Nicosia, CYPRUS Apples appear throughout numerous world religions and mythologies as a common symbol and motif. It is important to note though that in Middle English as late as the 17th century, the word ‘apple’ was used as a generic term to describe all fruit other than berries, so the appearance of apples in ancient writings may not actually be the apples known today. The etymology of 'apple' is an interesting one. That aside, Greek mythology presents several notable apples: the Golden Apples in the Garden of Hesperides, different golden apples associated with Atalanta, and of course the golden Apple of Discord. Each appearance of apples presents unique examples of symbolism. The Golden Apples in the Garden of Hesperides were a wedding gift to Hera from Gaia and were protected by a great serpent called Ladon. The Apples as well as the rest of the life in the Garden were tended by the Hesperides, minor earth goddesses or nymphs and daughters of the Titan, Atlas. The Garden itself rested in an inaccessible spot near the edge of the world under the power of the Olympians. For his Eleventh Labor, Hercules was sent to the Garden to retrieve three Golden Apples for King Eurystheus. The exact location of the Garden and the Apples was unknown and Hercules had to pry the information from Nereus, the Old Man of the Sea. Along the way, he also encountered and freed Prometheus who told not to try pick the Golden Apples himself, but to ask Atlas.

Kadmos and Europa, and the Phoenicians
R O B E R T S . P. B E E K E S KADMOS AND EUROPA, AND THE PHOENICIANS 1 . The discussion in Der Neue Pauly ( b y K . Meister) o f the P h o e ¬ nicia-problem o f the Kadmos-story is quite inadequate. Especially a mere reference to Edwards' monography on Kadmos the P h o e n i ¬ cian i s i n s u f f i c i e n t to settle the matter. ( V i a n interprets the story o f Kadmos as containing traces o f an Indo-European tripartite society. A s I do not b e l i e v e in Dumézil's theories on this point, I shall not discuss them.) 2. Kadmos and Europa The story o f Europa i s quite straightforward: While she was on the shore with her companions, Zeus approached her in the shape o f a bull. S h e mounted the bull, it went into the s e a and took her to Crete. There it mated with her. The children were Minos and Rhadaman- thys. Afterwards she married king Asterios. There i s in her story nothing about Kadmos. He would have gone to continental Greece, not to Crete, to search f o r her. And so he did not find her and instead founded Thebes. He would have been her uncle. S o there i s no story about his search: it i s only said that he went the wrong way and did not find her.
