Ötzi's Tats
Ötzi the Iceman has never been mentioned here before? What I find telling, the initial Bad Theory of expert scientists was overwritten by artisan-craftspeople who actually knew what they were talking about: yep, living tattoo artists. Found high in the Tyrolean Alps in 1991, Ötzi the Iceman had dark...

Re: The Binitarian Formula
Homily on the Psalms , p.313: All right, look at what they say: “The Creator is savage, the Creator is inhumane; there is another, Higher-, Good-God.” The Demiurge must be Ialdabaoth/ Samael .

Patriarch Jacob-Israel is Herakles-Palaemon?
A theory is just a theory, until debate and consensus deems it worthy. Maybe it becomes widely accepted, even common-knowledge or even 'fact.'

Re: Melicertes/Melqart
Excellent finds! Ino is mother of Melicertes. Where we understand Melicertes = Melqart , so too Anat/Atargatis is the consort of Baal Hadad. But (if Baumgarten [1981] , is correct) Melqart=Herakles is logically Hadad's Son. Herakles is the Son of the Big Guy. Leucothea is Derceto-Atargatis, an angui...

Re: Chalkeion, as a Krater
Besides the Tripod Cauldron discussed above, an alternate or parallel reading is available: οὗτος γὰρ χάλκειον ἐς οὐρανὸν ἐστήρικται = "For this Chalkeion {brazen shield?} is firmly set in Heaven" [...] In a myth complex w. frescos illustrating Herakles , this seems relevant. It is the im...
