PARAPHRASE REVELATION OF SAINT JOHN. /$5~ N . *J ,gfffifi /‘ 6 (__, %~ ~ ~ Q 0:1`2~ PREFACE The page of Prophecy is invested with a more than ordinary degree of interest at the present time, in consequence of the political aspect of Europe. All who have been brought up in the old Protestant view of the Apocalypse are looking forward to the year 1866, as an epoch when some great events are to occur, which will materially affect the prospects and condition of the Papal Power. Many have but an imperfect knowledge of the evidence upon which this expectation is based ; as there are but few who make the subject a matter of study. They gather their impressions from detached texts of Scripture and the comments they hear upon them ; and some are as likely to be swayed vby.onp "-system of interpretation as by another, since they have no #Mfoprehensiv%,vlmd intelligent view of Pro- phecy taken as a whole. '-'-.'- \\ ':':'. l.Q'. The following Paraphrase was drawn up -a;.few years ago, soon after the first appearance of the Rev. E. B: Elliott's JSbra Apocalypticce, and was published in a religious periodical in Calcutta. The object was to assist persons interested in the subject in forming a judgment concerning this scheme of interpretation, which many regard as the most complete which has been yet proposed. The compiler does not wish it to be understood, by his publishing this Paraphrase, that he necessarily adopts the interpreta tion here set forth. He considers it worthy of grave consideration, and thinks it desirable that the grounds on which it rests should be extensively known. The Paraphrase has been revised and corrected by the last edition of the Hora (the 4th), and is now published in England with Mr. Elliott's sanction. Mr. Elliott is an expositor of the school of "the pious and profoundly learned" Joseph Mede, Sir Isaac Newton, Bishop Newton, the Rev. Messrs. Davison, Thomas Scott, Faber, and other writers still living, who consider the main topic of the Apocalypse, as far as it has hitherto been accom plished, to be the rise and development of Popeey, with many attendant IV PBEFACE. circumstances which have affected the history and progress of the Chuech of Cheist upon earth. No one expositor since Mede has done so much as Mr. Elliott has in removing difficulties, clearing up doubtful points, and filling up details in this scheme. His antiquarian research, extensive reading, profound erudition, and sound scriptural views, have all been brought to bear with great advantage in his elaborate work — for which, we doubt not, his name will ever occupy a prominent position among pro phetic interpreters. In this attempt to give a condensed Paraphrase of the Apocalypse, em bracing the main results of a work consisting of four large octavo volumes, readers must not look for a vindication of the statements and views which are here adopted ; for this they must go to the work itself. And should they hesitate at receiving any of the statements here made, they must not judge the author through the medium of this brief summary, but enter upon an attentive study of the volumes for themselves. It is hoped that this Paraphrase will have the double effect, of inducing some to procure the original work who do not already possess it, and also of refreshing the memories of others who have made it their study. The Paraphrase does not embrace those parts' of the Apocalypse which, it is conceived, are as yet unfulfilled — for there, it is thought, all expositors break down ; and it is natural they should. It seems to savour too much of self-confidence to enter upon such ground, except in the most general manner. We should mark the events of the world's and the Church's history, and be sitting upon our watch-tower, waiting for the unrolling of the Scroll of Prophecy, as time brings on the development of the predic tions involved in its mysterious folds. The text, it will be observed, is printed in italics, so as easily to be separated by the eye from the paraphrase ; where it is at all broken up, and the parts are involved with the words of the paraphrase, the text is, for facility of reference, given also on the side. The translation differs very seldom from the authorized version, and where this occurs the varia tion is slight. J. H. P. Calcutta, 1862. CONTENTS. INTRODUCTION.

However, mortal heroes were no less respected than semi-gods. Some of the mortals even exceeded semi-gods in terms of bravery and reputation. Regardless of their origin, these heroes accomplished many great tasks and even tasks thought being impossible to accomplish. Because of the deeds, they had done and helping humanity to progress, they were favoured by the gods. If enough favours were gained or devotion showed, the gods would even help the heroes by either giving them wisdom or intervening themselves with their powers. The ancients Greeks were polytheistic — that is, they worshipped many gods. Their major gods and goddesses lived at the top of Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece, and myths described their lives and actions. In myths, gods often actively intervened in the day-to-day lives of humans. Myths were used to help explain the unknown and sometimes teach a lesson. For example, Zeus, the king of the gods, carried his favorite weapon, the thunderbolt. When it rained and there was thunder and lightning, the ancient Greeks believed that Zeus was venting his anger. Many stories about how the Greek gods behaved and interacted with humans are found in the works of Homer. He created two epic poems: the Iliad , which related the events of the Trojan War, and the Odyssey , which detailed the travels of the hero Odysseus.

  • The Goddess of Report in the Courtroom
    ACTA CLASSICA XLIX. 2013. UNIV. SCIENT. DEBRECEN. pp. 01–57. THE GODDESS OF REPORT IN THE COURTROOM BY DÁNIEL BAJNOK Abstract: Besides other allegorical deities, Athenians honoured Pheme with an altar as early as in the 5th c. BC, which was still worshipped in the imperial era (Paus. I 17). Aeschines the orator refers to her as a goddess of very great importance ( ) in his speech against Timarchus and since he has no hard evidence supporting his main charge (i.e. the wan- tonness of the defendant), he calls for the goddess of Report (Pheme) to be his star witness. Em- bodying an important factor of democratic Athens, the argument relying on Pheme is more than a mere figure of speech. Aeschines achieved victory not only through cunning oratorical skills but also exploiting the general attitude of his fellow citizens against those who endanger moral and religious norms of the community. Keywords: Pheme, report, personification, Aeschines, Timarchus. Pheme, the Goddess of Report and Rumour is not a widely attested and ac- knowledged deity of the Greek pantheon. Being an obvious personification of an abstract idea, no visual representation of her has been preserved, and she is not mentioned in Greek mythology, either.1 This should not have been necessar- ily so: there are a number of similar abstract personifications who enter myth and visual culture, e.g. the twin brothers Hypnos and Thanatos carrying away the body of Sarpedon are widely known from the Iliad and also from the fa- mous Euphronios krater, whereas Demokratia (Democracy personified) is de- picted in several Attic stelai.2 The Roman equivalent Fama received much greater attention after Virgil’s notorious description of the spread of rumour concerning the amorous relation between Dido and Aeneas in the forth book of the Aeneid (IV 173–197).

  • THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus”
    “THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus” Carla Ionescu A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HUMANITIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2016 © Carla Ionescu, 2016 ii Abstract: Tradition states that the most popular Olympian deities are Apollo, Athena, Zeus and Dionysius. These divinities played key roles in the communal, political and ritual development of the Greco-Roman world. This work suggests that this deeply entrenched scholarly tradition is fissured with misunderstandings of Greek and Ephesian popular culture, and provides evidence that clearly suggests Artemis is the most prevalent and influential goddess of the Mediterranean, with roots embedded in the community and culture of this area that can be traced further back in time than even the arrival of the Greeks. In fact, Artemis’ reign is so fundamental to the cultural identity of her worshippers that even when facing the onslaught of early Christianity, she could not be deposed. Instead, she survived the conquering of this new religion under the guise of Mary, Mother of Jesus. Using methods of narrative analysis, as well as review of archeological findings, this work demonstrates that the customs devoted to the worship of Artemis were fundamental to the civic identity of her followers, particularly in the city of Ephesus in which Artemis reigned not only as Queen of Heaven, but also as Mother, Healer and Saviour. Reverence for her was as so deeply entrenched in the community of this city, that after her temple was destroyed, and Christian churches were built on top of her sacred places, her citizens brought forward the only female character in the new ruling religion of Christianity, the Virgin Mary, and re-named her Theotokos, Mother of God, within its city walls.

DIVINE PERSONALITY AND PERSONIFICATION The Greeks thought of their gods as personal beings in human shape. They shared their belief in anthropomorphic gods with other and older cultures, sorne of which had contributed to Greek religious thought. But their intense personal quality set the Greek gods apart from others and brought them close to their mortal . subjects. Eastern gods were also conceived of in the image of man but far removed from his level1. The deep gulf between human and divine therefore deprived oriental gods of the most typical and endearing characteristic of the Romeric and Greek Olympians. The Sumerian gods, for example, despite their human shape, remained vasdy superior cosmic powers with only rudimentary persona! characteristics. The gods of Egypt, too, were devoid of personality. The names of most major Egyptian deities are particularly interesting in contrast with Greek practice because their meaning is generally transparent. They translate as divine functions rather than personal tides. They describe the common activity, or nature, of a particular god and not his personality.
