Download or read book The Sibylline Oracles written by and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1890 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sibyls occupy a conspicuous place in the traditions and history of ancient Greece and Rome. Their fame was spread abroad long before the beginning of the Christian era. Heraclitus of Ephesus, five centuries before Christ, compared himself to the Sibyl "who, speaking with inspired mouth, without a smile, without ornament, and without perfume, penetrates through centuries by the power of the gods." The ancient traditions vary in reporting the number and the names of these weird prophetesses, and much of what has been handed down to us is legendary. But whatever opinion one may hold respecting the various legends, there can be little doubt that a collection of Sibylline Oracles was at one time preserved at Rome. There are, moreover, various oracles, purporting to have been written by ancient Sibyls, found in the writings of Pausanias, Plutarch, Livy, and in other Greek and Latin authors. Whether any of these citations formed a portion of the Sibylline books once kept in Rome we cannot now determine; but the Roman capitol was destroyed by fire in the time of Sulla (B. C. 84), and again in the time of Vespasian (A. D. 69), and whatever books were at those dates kept therein doubtless perished in the flames. It is said by some of the ancients that a subsequent collection of oracles was made, but, if so, there is now no certainty that any fragments of them remain.

Straightway the Immortal added to the winds 120 A mighty force, and tempests from above Hurled down the huge tower, and among mankind Raised up confusion, wherefore mortals gave Unto that city the name of Babylon. But when the tower fell, and the tongues of men 125 Became discordant, all the earth was filled With mortals, and divided among kings. And then appeared the generation tenth Of mortal men, from the time when the flood Came on the earlier race. And Kronos reigned, 130 And Titan and Japetus, whom men esteemed Fairest of Gaia and Uranus born, And gave them also names of earth and heaven, Because they were most excellent of men. Into three parts divided they the earth, 135 According to the inheritance of each, And each ruled his own portion, without strife; For they were bound by the paternal oath, And equal were their portions. But old age Came on the father, and his time was full, 140 And he died; but the sons, infringing oaths, Line 119. Winds.--"The idea that God threw down the tower by means of the winds was probably first written down by our poet, but it is really nothing but a subtile interpretation of Gen. xi, 7."--EioaXd, p. 33. Line 127. Generation tenth.--Cited by Athenagoras, Legatiopro Christianis, xxx [G., 6, 960], and Tertul., adNationes, ii, 12 [L., 1, 603]. In citing this passage Tertullian thus speaks of the Sibyl: "The Sibyl was earlier than all literature, that Sibyl, I mean, who was the true prophetess of truth. In senarian verse she thus expounds the descent and exploits of Saturn." Line 129. Kronos.--Greek name for the more familiar Latin title Saturn. The story of the Titans in the following lines (129-183) is familiar to students of Greek mythology, but the old myth exists with numerous minor variations, ...

Download or read book The Apocalypse of John written by Milton S Terry and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton S. Terry (1840-1914) was an Old Testament and hermeneutics scholar. This work is a preterist commentary on the Apocalypse (i.e., the Book of Revelation), which is the most Old Testament-oriented work in the New Testament. By frequently accessing Revelation's Old Testament backdrop, Terry provides a bull commentary that demonstrates that Revelation is a prophecy focusing on the coming destruction Jewish Temple in AD 70. Though he sees a portion of the last three chapters as touching on the future which was distant from the Apostle John's time, he sees Revelation's main concern as explaining the completion of the old covenant order in the establishing of the new covenant.
Download or read book Greek and Latin Literature of the Roman Empire written by Albrecht Dihle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Dihle sees the Greek and Latin literature between the 1st century B.C. and the 6th century A.D. as an organic progression. He builds on Schlegel's observation that art, customs and political life in classical antiquity are inextricably entwined and therefore should not be examined separately. Dihle does not simply consider narrowly defined `literature', but all works of cultural socio-historical significance, including Jewish and Christian literature, philosophy and science. Despite this, major authors like Seneca, Tacitus and Plotinus are considered individually. This work is an authoritative yet personal presentation of seven hundred years of literature.
