Flash, Thunder, Lightning

 

And did God create man? That’s not true. “The celestial androgynes created humans,” would be what the Bible would say if it were translated better. Androgynes is the literal meaning of the word Elohim, the gods of Genesis — in all fairness, I should say the Goddesses, because our first masters were women. Since these goddess-gods were reptilian, they had both sexes… 

Pure Shit

We start with a nonsense due to AI (Absurd Ineptitude): In Greek mythology, the Cyclops are monstrous giants with a single round eye in the middle of their forehead. There are two main groups: the first are the divine sons of Uranus and Gaia (forgerons of the lightning of Zeus), while the second are wild and anthropophagous shepherds, incarnated by Polyphemus in Homer’s Odyssey.

This is pure shit. The Cyclops are indeed giants, but there is nothing monstrous about them. Their height is around 50 meters. They have not just one eye, but three. Two to see like ours, and the third eye opened in the middle of the forehead, to launch rays that heal, wound, or kill. We do not distinguish two main groups, but the first three gave birth to many sons, as large as them, who remained on an Earth that became hostile for them. Their gigantism was favorable to the distant time when terrestrial gravity was much lower. So light that the enormous rocks of the cities of the peaks had to be secured by metal rivets or else they would fly away, completely caught up in the lunar attraction.

Original masters, the Cyclops became wrecks crushed by a gravitational force unbearable for them. It is the increase in terrestrial gravity that explains why the five (or six) humanities are of decreasing size, until us, small pitiful puppets with our 2m maximum… Let’s assume that if gravity is reduced, the human size will increase at the same time.

 

 

Sons of Ouranos and Gaïa, the Cyclops were three in number: Argès the Flash, Brontes the Thunder and Steropes the Lightning. Endowed with an astonishing strength, they had only one eye in the middle of the front. Ouranos put them in irons, and threw them into the dark Tartarus. Gaia was angry and provoked the other Titans into revolt, who overthrew their father, rescued their brothers, and put Cronus on the throne. But he chained the Cyclops again, and shut them up in Tartarus, where they were guarded by the monster Camped.

Later, when Zeus had revolted against Kronos and the other Titans, Gaia predicted that he would emerge victorious from this struggle, which had already lasted ten years, if he called the Cyclops to his aid. After killing their guardian Campe, Zeus broke the irons of the Cyclops, who, as a reward, made him Thunder, Lightning and Lightning, then a helmet that made invisible to Hades and a trident for Poseidon.

The Cyclops perished under the features of Apollo, for having forged the lightning with which Zeus God had killed Asclepius Aesculapius.

 

 Birth of the Gods

Theogony by Hesiode

 

First of all, there was Chaos the Abyss and then Gaia, the Earth with its wide sides, forever offered to all the living, to all the immortals, by the grace of Eros the Love, the most beautiful among the immortal gods, he who, in the bosom of every god as of every man, tames the heart and the will. 

Earth gave birth to the Cyclops with violent hearts, Brontes, Steropes, Arges with brutal souls, [who gave Zeus thunder and made him lightning] in all things like gods, except for one eye placed in the middle of their forehead. [Cyclops was the name by which they were called, because only one round eye was placed on their forehead. ] Vigor, strength and address were in all their acts.

 

Apollodore, Library

Uranus chains all his first children and precipitates them in Tartarus, a dark place of the underworld, as far from the earth, as the earth is far from Heaven. 

He then had other sons, the Titans; and daughters, the Titanides.

The Earth, irritated by the loss of its children had rushed into Tartarus, pushes the Titans to revolt against Uranus. Ocean stands in his palace, perplexed. He is loath to obey his mother’s orders. Should he mutilate his father like Saturn and his other brothers, pushed by their mother? Or will he stay quiet at home? After careful consideration, he chose tranquility, hating the conduct of his mother and even more that of his brothers.

 

Nonnos, Dionysiacs

While the son of Agenor, lying shepherd, remains motionless at the edge of the pastures of the forest, and presses with his movable lips the edge of his flute, the son of Saturn slips into the cave without noise, unnoticed; and he arms his hands again with his usual lightning.

He spares neither herds nor ferocious beasts. The predatory bears are crushed under the jaws of the bears on his face. Lions with tawny heads and hairy limbs are swallowed up by the gaping maws of his lions. His snake throat tears at the weak rings of terrestrial snakes. He devours the birds of the air that have become his neighbors, and hitherto inaccessible. He eats above all the eagles that he knows belong to Jupiter, and which hover near him.

 

 

Ovid, Metamorphoses

Agenor, king of Phoenicia, charges his son Cadmus to search for his daughter Europe and not to return without her. After vain peregrinations, Cadmus gives up and to find a new homeland, he follows a heifer who guides him towards Boeotia. 

Cadmus settles there and sends his companions to fetch water. But they are exterminated by a monstrous dragon that has arisen from the source. Cadmus discovers the animal and swears to avenge his men. During a cyclopean battle, the hero manages to defeat the monster, but transforms into a snake.

On the advice of Pallas-Athena, the hero sows the dragon’s teeth, from which an entire equipped army soon emerges. Echion offers to make peace, and Cadmus marries Harmonie,Harmony is the king my sisters and brothers  daughter of Mars and Venus. Father of an important posterity, Cadmus seems at the height of bliss.
