Who Is Xerxes As A Prophet

Thus beginning the but the animal yet again where worried that now the man would grow lonely, so then Hactcin, with a lice made the man dream of a women. When he had woken there she was, and they were instructed to eat plants and animal. From the first man and women come all people of their tribe after. Apache spirit “Holy Boy” tried to make the sun and with help of White and Black Hactcin and Red Boy they made what daylight is to us now. Shamans claimed they controlled the sun but four days after an eclipse occurred and unable to bring the light back, White Hactcin called upon the animal and with their help they created a mountain. This mountain was climbed by White, Black Hactcin and Holy boy as well as Red boy who only saw the sun was in another earth where it shined bright. Man and women where the first to climb up the mountain and there all others come up except two, an old man and an old women. They stayed behind but told the others they had to go back one day which is why when we die we go the underworld.

King Acrisius was king of Argos. He had an amazingly beautiful daughter, but he wished deeply for a son, so he prayed to the gods for them to give him a son. Apollo,the god of culture and prophecy, told him that he will never have a son in all his days and that the son of his daughter will slay him. Acrisius thinks of just killing his daughter,Danae, to prevent his prophecy, but fears of the punishment he will receive from the gods for this act, so he instead locks his daughter in an entirely bronze house and guards it closely. What he did not expect is for the king of the gods Zeus to come directly to his daughter and impregnate her. From this comes a son named Perseus. When Acrisius learns of his daughter's offspring, he puts both Perseus and Danae in a trunk and sets it off into the ocean. By luck or by the will of Zeus Perseus and Danae wash up onto a small island, where a kind hearted fisherman named Dictys takes in the two strangers. They live contently with Dictys until Dictys' brother, King Polydectes, fell in love with Danae. He decides to construe a plot to get rid of her son,Perseus, so that he can have her. The plan he comes is to convince Perseus to go and slay the woman-beast Medusa. He thinks this feat impossible by a mortal man, because any man who lays eyes upon her turns to stone. To aid him on his quest Hermes gives him a sword stronger than that of Medusa's scale. He also told him he would need equipment from the nymphs of the north, who's location was unknown by all except the Gray Women who are ray and live in gray.The three sisters share one eye between them all and

“The Iroquois Creation Story” tells the ancient myth when only two worlds existed. One, in the lower half, complete darkness filled with monsters and the other, the upper world, filled with mankind. There, in the second world, a women conceived twins. As her labor intensified she fell closer and closer to the lower, darker world. While in distress the twins were born and “entered the dark world by compulsion”. Only a few moments later the women fell to her death. As the twins grew older they possessed different minds. One was the good mind and the other was the bad mind. The good mind used the parent for his initial creations. Around the head, an orb was created to “bestow light to the new world”, now known as the sun. Another orb was placed around the body which was “inferior” to the light, now known as the moon. He also created spots of lights to connect the day and night which are now know as stars. All of these were created to help “regulate” the days, nights, season, years, etc.”. The good mind continued his creations by creating animals, oceans, mountains, insects and mankind.

Enigonhahetgea creates the moon, which turns day to night, and Enigonhahetgea tried to create people, but instead created apes he also created many things in the world that could impede human life. Enigorio followed behind his twin to undo what he had done. This part of the story is instructional in its function by bringing to awareness traits of competition, jealousy, and power that can be seen in the behavior of the twins. It also tells how daytime and nighttime came into being and where the tribe came from. It also infers choice as both brothers were born into the dark world. One chose to create light, the other chose to remain in darkness.

Out of Chaos, came Earth and Sky, and the very first gods. In this story, life came from nothingness-a void. From the Void there then came Darkness and Night. From Night came the Light and then Day. Earth, named Gaia, brought about Sky, known as Uranus, and then after lying with Sky, she birthed Ocean, along with the giants and Cyclopes, and immortals. Hesiod's story is similar to the Bible in that it describes children falling from grace and having to deal with the consequences and fallout. Also like the Bible, where Eve is the cause of the fall, it is a female-the "mother" who causes the same problem in the Theogeny. This mother gets together with Chornus, her son, who cut his father Sky's insides out of his own body. In the Bible, the Father has great love for his creation, but in Hesiod's story, the father hates his children, who he called the Titans. The Titans were the parents of the Greek gods of Mount Olympus, thus beginning the line of gods that rose from chaos. There is a similarity, though, in the hatred of the father of the Theogeny and the rebellion of the children that stemmed from this feeling, and the great flood of the Bible and the Epic of Gilgamesh, in which the children were punished for their disobedience by an angry Father or

Not only that but that when the chief’s daughter fell ill the Sky People dug up a tree and laid the girl next to the hole that remained. When they laid her next to the hole she fell through the hole where two swans caught her. Then they put her on The Great Turtle’s back and it counseled that she was a symbol of good fortune. The Great Turtle sent all the other animals to bring the Sky World tree back with earth covered roots. Many animals tried but failed, coming back to exhausted and died. Finally an elderly woman toad had just enough energy left to spit a mouthful of earth onto the back of The Great Turtle. The earth was magical therefore it grew and grew enough for the Sky woman to live on. The swans circled enough till it grew in to the land mass it is today. But it was dark so The Great Turtle called the animals to put a great light into the sky. A little turtle climbed into a black cloud collecting lightning as she went. She made a big bright ball called the sun and a smaller ball called the moon. Then The Great Turtle commanded the animals to make holes in the comers in the sky so the sun and moon could go down as one when up as they circled. The Sky woman gave birth to twins, one good called Tharonhiawagon, one evil called Tawiskaron. From her breasts grows the three sisters; corn, beans, and

In the beginning there were two worlds. The lower world, and the upper world. Everything existed in total darkness. The upper world was to hold mankind, and the lower world was where all of the monsters lived. A woman gave birth too twins. One twin was the good mind and the other was the evil mind. The good mind

With the warnings he received from the gods and Teiresias the seer, Odysseus tried to

There were water animals "Monsters" already in existence, and a women which was the "second generation of sky women to become pregnant without sexual activity". Creation of the earth was immensely different in this story; in fact it was created by mud that the woman placed on the back of the turtle, causing it to grow into a big Island that we today call Earth. After time, a good mind, Enigorio, and a bad mind, Enigonhahetgea, were created. The good mind was bothered with the darkness and he therefor created light, the sun, using the parents head which he then created an orb with. He later constructed the moon, stars, creeks, rivers, forests, fishes, man, and woman. The bad mind also took part in this creation of the earth. He constructed high mountains, waterfalls, great steeps, and various reptiles which would negatively impact mankind. The bad mind and good mind tried to out power each other with the creations of earth. The bad mind creating what could hurt mankind, and the good mind creating what could comfort

Before the earth was created there was nothing but darkness, water, the wind, and the Hactcin (the Jicarilla supernatural beings). The Hactcin lived in the underworld, a world below our Earth as we know it now. Black Hactcin, the most powerful of them all, created animals, birds, and all other creatures from clay, and gave them life. They asked him for a companion, so that when he left, they wouldn’t be lonely. So Black Hactcin, in his own outline, created the first human from various resources the animals brought him.

The creation of light is very important to Hildegard. She refers to angels as being made of pure, living light. The darkness stands for the fallen angels. She shows nine ranks of angels in the tapestry. There were originally ten, but Lucifer’s order fell. Dr. Fassler pointed out the idea that God created humankind to take the place where Lucifer fell. Mankind then fell, and we must regain our voices and place through praise. Hildegard said that the universe did not spin until Adam fell with

an archangel who walked with God among the stones of fire. Lucifer, aware of his own beauty wanted to be worshiped as God. So he led a rebellion in heaven, and 1/3rd of the angels in heaven followed him. the pre-Adamic world had also fallen and had evil continually in their hearts. The people and creatures on earth followed after Lucifer. The world was full of darkness and misery. Full of destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness, and obscurity, and would not repent. God cast out Lucifer, judged the world with catastrophic effects, killing every living thing. This ended the preadamic race. The earth bears the scars of this fall and holds the ruins of a pre-existing world. Fossils of

Unwillingly, Teiresias the blind seer provides Oedipus with the hurtful truth. Although before the truth is announced, Oedipus describes Teiresias as a "seer: student of mysteries." Oedipus looks to Teiresias for help in finding the murderer of the former king. He is trusted and respected by everyone in the city as evidenced by his introduction as "the holy prophet In whom, alone of all men, truth was born." Yet, when Teiresias speaks, reluctantly but honestly to Oedipus, he is shunned and his credibility and motives are attacked. Oedipus

Xenophanes was a Greek philosopher before the Socratic era whose conception of God was different from other philosophers of his time. Before the evolution of God as a non-human entity the ancient Greeks believed that Gods and Goddesses were similar to that of humans and the only distinction was that Gods were immortal and humans were mortal. He challenged openly the concept of divinity proposed by Homer and put forward his ideas of God through his poetic approach. He noticed the corrupt behavior of humans and realized that if human are going to worship any being it must be worthy of such an honor. He argued that ancient Greek Gods of Olympia had experienced downfall similar to humans and thus are not worthy of being worshipped.
