Lloyd,Athena was Venus, wasn't it?
Do you mean maybe Aphrodite or Ashtarte, rather than Athena ?
Some have linked Isis with Venus, as well.

I'm guessing he meant Athene because that is what Velikovsky said.seasmith wrote:Lloyd,Athena was Venus, wasn't it?

This is the problem with interpreting great old literature by assuming that it merely conveys planetary encounters.Grey Cloud » Tue Jan 12, 2016 5:29 am

No, never, not in Homer or anywhere else. Her being born from the head of Zeus has nothing to do with planets etc it is purely metaphysical and concerns Mind and the Logos. This why she is the goddess of wisdom, warfare and weaving. The Logos cannot be subverted, ignored, bypassed etc -
With no operating seismic sensors on the Moon it is not possible to say if it was an impact. I agree fully with you that it was a discharge, and likely between a meteorite and the lunar surface, but again that can not be proven. The orbiting Apollo astronauts saw numerous flashes on the surface, but it seems they were crater rim discharges, and likely did not involve meteorites at all.One possible interpretation is that an 8 second electric discharge was sufficient to make quite a large crater! I personally do not think there was an impact, just a spark between the two bodies, but others may differ about that.
If only I would have paid more attention in Lit class! (: Come to think of it, my English teacher could easily have said something similar...Interesting little synopsis of the Iliad and Odyssey there but both books are much deeper and layered than that. The Iliad among other things is about the alchemical or yogic transformation of the character Achilles. The Odyssey is almost entirely a more detailed study of the same thing using the character of Odysseus.
I knew Velikovsky concluded that Athena was Venus, but the EU team agree, or did agree in 1998. See here.seasmith wrote:Lloyd,
