The Sophistication of the Ancients

Some may imply that my “reading in” gives ancients too much credit, that there is something of the “New Ageist” in my analysis, where “ancient Myth contains all knowledge or wisdom.” That these myths are instead primarily subconscious manifestations whose meanings we may only idly speculate as a kind of pleasurable pastime. After all, the […]

Tron: Legacy – Christ dethrones Apollo – By Hugo Adrian

Note to reader: Typically I don’t publish other writers on my site. Honestly I’ve enough to do to keep up with my own writing (and my own life).

Our Similarity to the Ancients

Note to reader: I’ve expanded on this article to cement the connection between the Jewish Yahweh or El Olam to the Roman deity Saturn. Through an analysis of myth and Biblical Hebrew the connection is obvious. At some point it will be considered either dishonesty or ignorant when this connection is denied. This of course […]
