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 . Among the Jews/Semites, is there another 'savage, inhumane Creator' god, AND the lesser of the Most High, ...

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...

Re: ... New False Gods
Islam isn't a New False God, tho. Islam isn't "new" to Europe, although there were no mosques in peripheral places like Iceland, etc. until our lifetime. Visibility isn't newness, is it? Richard Dawkins ('Ducky' at Oundle) is a stark and embarrassing example of 'Careful-What-You-Wish-For' ...
