The seus Mino Tau r
Theseus was the mythical founder-king of Athens, son of Aethra, and fathered by Aegeus and Poseidon, both of whom Aethra had slept with in one night. Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus, or Heracles, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order. Aegeus, one of the primordial kings of Athens, found a bride, Aethra who was the daughter of king Pittheus at Troezen, a small city southwest of Athens. On their wedding night, Aethra waded through the sea to the island of Sphairia that rests close to the coast and lay there with Poseidon (god of the sea and earthquakes)...  Aegeus was joined by Medea, who had left Corinth after slaughtering the children she had borne Jason, and had taken Aegeus as her new consort. Priestess and consort together represented the old order in Athens..According to sources, Theseus also was one of the Argonauts, although Apollonius of Rhodes states in the Argonautica that Theseus was still in the underworld at this time. Both statements are inconsistent with Medea being Aegeus' wife by the time Theseus first came to Athens. With Phaedra, Theseus fathered Acamas, who was one of those who hid in the Trojan Horse during the Trojan War. Theseus welcomed the wandering Oedipus and helped Adrastus to bury the Seven Against Thebes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWLb2F0MEoY Quote:

Integrity
Any individual, man, or woman, that lacks integrity, should not waste time approaching the West Gate. There are many that would prefer to remain citizens of the profane world and that is as it should be; It is regrettable though that there are so many cowans about making mischief these days.
Masonic light illuminates the truth. Truth is not a relative word. Differences in religious, political, and philosophical beliefs are matters of personal opinion, but truth, as it is employed in day-to-day dealings with others, requires an absolute quality. Individuals that attempt to deceive, who lack the virtues of honesty, transparency, humility, and tolerance, are not, and never will be, Freemasons.  It is unfortunate that in the world today there are many that claim the title "Freemason" yet through their actions betray their lack of Masonic virtues. Spreading disinformation is hardly the behavior of a Freemason. Honesty and “circumscribing the passions” are concepts foreign to such people. These “Masons” have no light to impart to anyone. http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...0&postcount=45 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=316 |

Apollonian Grisket
In mathematics, an Apollonian gasket or Apollonian net is a fractal generated from triples of circles, where each circle is tangent to the other two. It is named after Greek mathematician Apollonius of Perga..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4tpocRl8ps An Apollonian gasket can be constructed as follows. Start with three circles C1, C2 and C3, each one of which is tangent to the other two (in the general construction, these three circles can be any size, as long as they have common tangents). Apollonius discovered that there are two other non-intersecting circles, C4 and C5, which have the property that they are tangent to all three of the original circles – these are called Apollonian circles . Adding the two Apollonian circles to the original three, we now have five circles...  Möbius transformations are also isometries of the hyperbolic plane, so in hyperbolic geometry all Apollonian gaskets are congruent. In a sense, there is therefore only one Apollonian gasket, up to (hyperbolic) isometry..The Apollonian gasket is the limit set of a group of Möbius transformations known as a Kleinian group... Quote:

Xenophonetic
Xenophon (Greek: Ξενοφῶν; c. 430 – 354 BC), son of Gryllus, of the deme Erchia of Athens, also known as Xenophon of Athens, was a Greek historian, soldier, mercenary, philosopher and a contemporary and admirer of Socrates. He is known for his writings on the history of his own times, the 4th century BC, preserving the sayings of Socrates, and descriptions of life in ancient Greece and the Persian Empire..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oO6pCRe3pM Diogenes Laertius states that Xenophon was sometimes known as the "Attic Muse" for the sweetness of his diction. Xenophon is often cited for promoting sympathetic training and humane treatment of horses in his "On Horsemanship"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LHMF63PttM Xenophon's writings, especially the Anabasis, are often read by students beginning the Greek language.. His Hellenica is a major primary source for events in Greece from 411 to 362 BC, and is considered to be the continuation of the History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides, going so far as to begin with the phrase "Following these events...". The Hellenica recounts the last seven years of the Peloponnesian war, as well as its aftermath. His Socratic writings, preserved complete, along with the dialogues of Plato, are the only surviving representatives of the genre of Sokratikoi logoi..The dialogues are either dramatic or narrative, and Socrates is often the main character... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=124..Nagging questions always remain.. http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=375...Give us this day our daily bread Romeo oh Romeo...http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...5&postcount=86...O-MeO-W..http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=371 |
