  • Myth and Origins: Men Want to Know
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, October 2015, Vol. 5, No. 10, 930-945 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2015.10.013 D DAVID PUBLISHING Myth and Origins: Men Want to Know José Manuel Losada Université Complutense, Madrid, Spain Starting with a personal definition of “myth”, this paper seeks to substantiate the claim that every myth is essentially etiological, in the sense that myths somehow express a cosmogony or an eschatology, whether particular or universal. In order to do that, this study reassesses Classical and Judeo-Christian mythologies to revisit and contrast the narratives of origin—of the cosmos, of the gods and of men—found in ancient polytheism and in Judeo-Christian monotheism. Taking into consideration how these general and particular cosmogonies convey a specific understanding of the passage of time, this article does not merely recount the cosmogonies, theogonies, and anthropogonies found in the Bible and in the works of authors from Classical Antiquity, but it also incorporates a critical commentary on pieces of art and literature that have reinterpreted such mythical tales in more recent times. The result of the research is the disclosure of a sort of universal etiology that may be found in mythology which, as argued, explains the origins of the world, of the gods, and of men so as to satisfy humankind’s ambition to unveil the mysteries of the cosmos. Myth thus functions in these cases as a vehicle that makes it possible for man to return the fullness of a primordial age, abandoning the fleeting time that entraps him and entering a time still absolute.

  • Chaos (Cosmogony)
    Chaos (cosmogony) Chaos (Ancient Greek: χάος, romanized: khaos) refers to the void state preceding the creation of the universe or cosmos in the Greek creation myths, or to the initial "gap" created by the original separation of heaven and earth.[1][2][3] Contents Etymology Greco-Roman tradition Chaoskampf Biblical tradition Alchemy and Hermeticism Modern usage See also Notes References Etymology Greek χάος means "emptiness, vast void, chasm,[4] abyss", from the verb χαίνω, "gape, be wide open, etc.", h [5] [6] from Proto-Indo-European *ǵ eh2n-, cognate to Old English geanian, "to gape", whence English yawn. It may also mean space, the expanse of air, the nether abyss or infinite darkness.[7] Pherecydes of Syros (fl. 6th century BC) interprets chaos as water, like something formless which can be differentiated.[8] Greco-Roman tradition Hesiod and the Pre-Socratics use the Greek term in the context of cosmogony. Hesiod's Chaos has been interpreted as either "the gaping void above the Earth created when Earth and Sky are separated from their primordial unity" or "the gaping space below [9] the Earth on which Earth rests". Chaos by George Frederic Watts In Hesiod's Theogony, Chaos was the first thing to exist: "at first Chaos came to be" (or was)[10] but next (possibly out of Chaos) came Gaia, Tartarus and Eros (elsewhere the son of Aphrodite).[11] Unambiguously "born" from Chaos were Erebus and Nyx.[12] For Hesiod, Chaos, like Tartarus, though personified enough to have borne children, was also a place, far away, underground and "gloomy", beyond which lived the Titans.[13] And, like the earth, the ocean, and the upper air, it was also capable of being affected by Zeus' thunderbolts.[14] Passages in Hesiod's Theogony suggest that Chaos was located below Earth but above Tartarus.[15] Primal Chaos was sometimes said to be the true foundation of reality, particularly by philosophers such as Heraclitus.

  • Greek God Pantheon.Pdf
    Zeus Cronos, father of the gods, who gave his name to time, married his sister Rhea, goddess of earth. Now, Cronos had become king of the gods by killing his father Oranos, the First One, and the dying Oranos had prophesied, saying, “You murder me now, and steal my throne — but one of your own Sons twill dethrone you, for crime begets crime.” So Cronos was very careful. One by one, he swallowed his children as they were born; First, three daughters Hestia, Demeter, and Hera; then two sons — Hades and Poseidon. One by one, he swallowed them all. Rhea was furious. She was determined that he should not eat her next child who she felt sure would he a son. When her time came, she crept down the slope of Olympus to a dark place to have her baby. It was a son, and she named him Zeus. She hung a golden cradle from the branches of an olive tree, and put him to sleep there. Then she went back to the top of the mountain. She took a rock and wrapped it in swaddling clothes and held it to her breast, humming a lullaby. Cronos came snorting and bellowing out of his great bed, snatched the bundle from her, and swallowed it, clothes and all. Rhea stole down the mountainside to the swinging golden cradle, and took her son down into the fields. She gave him to a shepherd family to raise, promising that their sheep would never be eaten by wolves. Here Zeus grew to be a beautiful young boy, and Cronos, his father, knew nothing about him.

  • An Economic Index
    An Economic Index “£” indicates that this is British currency. But it’s weird! What’s that s and d stuff? A bit of googling reveals the units of pre-decimalization British currency. The invitation to “write in plain english” suggests that you put this in words, and since you’ve been told about indexing in the rules, you know you need to get this into a number and a word. There are a few non-unique solutions, but not enough so as to make it much more difficult at all. Fiddle around with it. ¼d = ONE FARTHING 5s = FIVE SHILLINGS £2.2s = TWO GUINEAS 3s = THREE SHILLINGS £5 = FIVE POUNDS 2¼d = NINE FARTHINGS £6.6s = SIX GUINEAS 8d = TWO GROATS 2s.6d = FIVE SIXPENCE £2 = FOUR CROWNS ½d = ONE HALFPENCE 1s.4d = FOUR GROATS 1s.8d = FIVE GROATS FLUIDS ARE WHAT So the answer is: WET. While it may be argued that gases are fluids, but are not wet, the word “Chill” in the flavortext suggests you look at the cooler fluids, i.e. liquids, which are wet. Suite For Unaccompanied Telegraph Title should indicate morse code, or even more literally––play this on a telegraph, that’s morse code, whatever. It says CHICKEN ROOSTER RED DEER CHICKEN ROOSTER is an obvious relation, so how does RED DEER fit? Well, what’s a male red deer? The answer is STAG.

  • Homeric Hymn to Demeter Trans
    HOMERIC HYMN TO DEMETER TRANS. E. EVELYN-WHITE (ll. 1-3) I begin to sing of rich-haired Demeter, awful goddess -- of her and her trim-ankled daughter whom Aidoneus rapt away, given to him by all-seeing Zeus the loud-thunderer. (ll. 4-18) Apart from Demeter, lady of the golden sword and glorious fruits, she was playing with the deep-bosomed daughters of Oceanus and gathering flowers over a soft meadow, roses and crocuses and beautiful violets, irises also and hyacinths and the narcissus, which Earth made to grow at the will of Zeus and to please the Host of Many, to be a snare for the bloom- like girl -- a marvellous, radiant flower. It was a thing of awe whether for deathless gods or mortal men to see: from its root grew a hundred blooms and is smelled most sweetly, so that all wide heaven above and the whole earth and the sea's salt swell laughed for joy. And the girl was amazed and reached out with both hands to take the lovely toy; but the wide-pathed earth yawned there in the plain of Nysa, and the lord, Host of Many, with his immortal horses sprang out upon her -- the Son of Cronos, He who has many names (5). (ll. 19-32) He caught her up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. Then she cried out shrilly with her voice, calling upon her father, the Son of Cronos, who is most high and excellent. But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tender-hearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave, and the lord Helios, Hyperion's bright son, as she cried to her father, the Son of Cronos.

  • Titans and the Elder Deities That Existed Before the Olympic Gods
    The Greek legends appear in many different mythological works, and not all the authors agree about which deity gave birth to whom when. The major accounts include Hesiod's Theogony, Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and, of course, Sophocles, Homer, and Virgil. Titans and the Elder Deities That Existed Before The Olympic Gods Nox (Night) and Erebus (Darkness) gave birth to a variety of beings that beautify Out of the spinning chaos the night sky or that torment before time began three forces humans.
