Philosophy and mythology of Pythagorean numerology.
Global world categories and myths of ancient Greece.
Initial potentialities and titans of the Greek mythology.

Numerology is an esoteric science about numbers and values which numbers have from the view point of philosophy and also psychology. Numbers in numerology are considered in quality not only mathematical objects which allow to carry out calculations, but also as abstract objects which express philosophical or psychological principles, and in essence express phenomena of the world in which there is a man. From the view point of numerology the man is placed in world around and consequently numbers describe world phenomena as elements which make features of human essence.
Modern representation about numerology develops of knowledge which were kept from last times, and in particular from ancient Greek philosophy and also philosophy of other nations of the world. A basis of philosophy are myths and consequently numerological knowledge are derivatives from mythology and philosophy. Namely a source of numerology is philosophy and a source of philosophy are myths and consequently the numerology is a derivative of myths.
The founder of numerology in ancient Greece was Pythagoras who has brought knowledge of numbers to Greece from the east and consequently the science about numbers can be named "Pythagorean numerology", but it is necessary to take into account that numerology of Pythagoras is interconnected to other numerological knowledge which are known in cultures of other nations.
This site section considers numerology which is based on myths of ancient Greece and based on ancient Greek philosophy, but myths and philosophies of other nations are not taken into account. For example, the Chinese numerology or the Indian numerology are not taken into account.
The Greek philosophy and myths are a basis of the European culture and in essence this site section consider numerology as traditional western numerology. About global numerology, which is common for different cultures or has original features in different cultures, it will be told in other sections of this site and in particular in the section which has the name meta-mathematics.

Knowledge in the ancient world were kept by priests of pagan cults, but also there were knowledge which were known at philosophical schools and were kept till now due to books which are written by philosophers. In ancient Greece there were many philosophical schools which had different representations about world around and consequently opinions of philosophers were disputable, but there was a general mythological and cultural basis due to which there were philosophical concepts and which was a uniform basis of the Greek culture, and also was a basis of numerological knowledge which existed at Pythagorean philosophical school.
The School of Pythagoras was esoteric and closed, namely knowledge were open only to members of school as knowledge of Pythagoras contradicted interests of pagan priests. Therefore books and written certificates on true Pythagorean knowledge were not kept but there were certificates of pupils and followers of Pythagoras among which was many philosophers, poets and historians who transferred knowledge not openly but by means of preservation of myths and by means of statements of philosophical ideas.
In particular Plato was the Pythagorean and Plato's knowledge have formed a basis of modern philosophy and are a source of many modern scientific doctrines, and including astrology which in essence is a single whole with numerology.
Numerological knowledge of Pythagoras were written down by philosophers, poets, astrologists, historians, and consequently it is necessary to realize philosophical concepts according to which philosophers or poets described world around, and also it is necessary to have elementary astrological representations about world around to understand numerology. Namely the numerology is a science about phenomena of the world and about principles of the world construction and consequently it is necessary to know basic concepts according to which the philosophy or the astrology understand world around.
It is necessary to tell what not all philosophers and historians of ancient Greece understood the world correctly from the view point of Pythagorean philosophical concepts and Pythagorean numerology, and consequently it is necessary to take into account different interpretations of opinions in myths and philosophical ideas.
Fundamental concept of philosophy are global world categories: matter, energy, space, time, and also movement, of which the world consists. Numerology is a derivative from philosophy and consequently numerological numbers are objects which correspond with global categories and designate ratio of the world phenomena. Namely philosophers describe the world by means of words but numerology describes the world by means of numbers which have the philosophical values and correspond with philosophical concepts. In essence numbers are symbols which systematize various philosophical senses and unite ideas, and also numbers allow to analyze ratio of ideas by means of research of ratio by which numbers are interconnected.
Design of the world is very complex but numbers allow to understand structures of the world as numbers are interconnected by numerological laws which are identical to laws of mathematics and laws of the world structures, and also are identical to divine laws according to which the world is created and people in the world are created. The understanding of mathematical and numerological laws is art which very complex and can not be realized by the man in all completeness, but nevertheless pages of this site give the information according to which it is possible to use numbers for comprehension of phenomena of world around.
Not each man is predisposed to understanding of mathematics or philosophy but primary sources of knowledge are myths and in essence mythological fairy tales which can be clear to everyone. Therefore the numerology is not difficult if to understand laws of numerology from the view point of myths, and in particular from the view point of ancient Greek myths which were kept due to mathematics and philosophers of last times devoted in secrets of a universe.
According to mythological legends the history of world creation begins from four global world categories which have names: matter, energy, space, time. Namely Gaia (matter) was one of four initial potentialities which also Chaos, Tartarus, Eros are. As initial potentialities the Gaia means presence of structure, the Chaos means absence of structure, the Tartars means destruction, the Eros means structuring. These are primary world principles which were incorporated under the aegis of Gaia and have formed a structured matter which at the same time is capable to be chaotic, and also is capable to be created or is capable to be collapsed. That is the listed initial potentialities have formed a primary material cross which is shown on the figure:

primary cross of chaos and matter The Gaia has connected four initial potentialities and has formed Uranus (energy), and with the help of Uranus has formed 6 male titans: Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Cronus, and 6 female titans: Tethys, Phoebe, Mnemosyne, Theia, Themis, Rhea which have made a basis of the material and energy world, that is shown in the following figure. Namely male and female titans have formed structure of the world, and in essence have formed an astrological circle which symbolizes structure of the world but provided that the astrological circle corresponds with zodiacal constellations (signs of the zodiac), and titans have other mythological essence but too correspond with zodiacal constellations.

table of comparisons for titans and signs of zodiac Shown parities of titans with signs of the zodiac are presumable but are based on mythological sources, namely characters of the Greek mythology are correlated to characters of zodiacal signs which are known in the modern astrology. Signs of the zodiac have the Egyptian origin but are comparable to characters of the Greek mythology as ancient Egypt and ancient Greece are the interconnected cultures.
Arrows on figure show matrimonial relations of titans. Symbols of planets near to names of titans specify astrological planets which operate or exalt in the appropriate astrological signs of the zodiac.

Coeus and Phoebe.
Coeus and Phoebe are parents of Leto and Asteria, and also primogenitors of Apollo, Artemis, Hecate which associate with the sun and the moon, and consequently Coeus and Phoebe are compared to the zodiac constellations Leo and Crab where the sun and the moon are in the abodes from the view point of the modern astrology.

Hyperion and Theia.
Hyperion and Theia are parents of Helios, Selene, Eos which associate with a day time sunlight, night moonlight, morning light.
Helios is the all-seeing god and the owner of clouds. Dazzling and shining personification of a sunlight.
Selene is the personification of a moonlight. Symbolizes love influence of the full moon.
Eos is the personification of a morning dawn. Associates with a morning star which Venus is.
Hyperion and Theia are compared to the zodiac constellations Aries and Taurus as the sun and the moon exalt in these astrological signs from the view point of the modern astrology, and the planet Venus operates in the astrological sign Taurus.
Besides there is a mythological information that Theia is beloved of Oceanus who corresponds with the astrological sign Libra where also managing planet is Venus that confirms the parity of Theia with zodiac constellation Taurus and confirms the parity of Ocean with zodiac constellation Libra.

Oceanus and Tethys.
Oceanus and Tethys are parents of all rivers and three-thousand Oceanids which in the subsequent became wives of many gods. In particular Oceanus and Tethys are parents of Metis who was oceanid and was a wife of Zeus, as which personified wisdom of Zeus.
The Oceanus is a kind and peaceful god who did not participate in struggle of titans against Zeus and Olympic gods, and also Oceanus tried to reconcile Zeus with Prometheus. But he frequently quarrels with wife Tethys as she corresponds with the zodiac constellation Scorpio where managing planet is Mars, and the Oceanus corresponds with zodiac constellation Libra where managing planet is Venus. That is "Mars in Scorpio" and "Venus in Libra" are a combination in which the imperious woman rules the peaceful man and as a result there are conflicts from the view point of the modern astrology.
The Oceanus was not thrown in Tartars and has kept the authority among Olympic gods.
His place of stay and the house are in the extreme west that confirms the parity with zodiac constellation Libra which is in the west within the framework of the astrological circle.

Crius and Mnemosyne.
Crius and Mnemosyne are parents of all Muses who are goddesses of art and inspiration.
Crius corresponds with the zodiac constellation Gemini as gives to Muses a skilful word and poetic gift that is peculiar to the astrological sign Gemini in which the planet Mercury operates. Mnemosyne corresponds with the zodiac constellation Pisces as gives to Muses inspiration that is peculiar to the astrological sign Pisces in which the planet Neptune operates. And also Mnemosyne gives to Muses grace as the planet Venus exalt in the astrological sign Pisces.
When Crius was thrown in Tartarus then Mnemosyne became a beloved of Zeus and has given birth to nine Olympic Muses who have made retinue of Apollo, and other Muses have formed retinue of Dionysus.
Mnemosyne is the goddess of memory and consequently Muses have knowledge of the past, and also have knowledge of the present and the future which can to see clearly by means of the inspired consciousnesses.

Iapetus and Themis.
Iapetus and Themis are parents of Prometheus and Epimetheus.
Iapetus and Themis correspond with the zodiac constellations Aquarius and Capricorn as their children are personifications of reason that is peculiar to astrological signs Aquarius and Capricorn in which the planets Uranus and Saturn operate. Prometheus is similar to the father Iapetus and is gifted with properties of the planet Uranus as is the god of perspicacious reason, but Epimetheus is similar to mother Themis and is gifted with properties of the planet Saturn as is the god of the subsequent reason.
Outside of matrimonial relations Iapetus is the parent of Atlas, and the Themis is second wife of Zeus as which personifies validity and justice.
Iapetus was thrown in Tartarus and Atlas is compelled to hold the heavenly arch on the shoulders for resistance to Olympic gods.
It is possible to tell that Atlas is the god of astrology as holds the heavenly arch on shoulders, and in essence holds the astrological circle which is a symbol of the heavenly arch.

Cronus and Rhea.
Cronus and Rhea are parents of Olympic gods.
Cronus is a tsar of the Golden Age and main among titans, but he was overthrown by Zeus and was thrown in Tartarus, and since then Cronus associates with relentless time and destiny which is inevitable even for gods. Therefore from the view point of modern astrology Cronus is identified with the gloomy and strict planet Saturn but primary Cronus corresponds with the zodiac constellation Sagittarius where the planet Jupiter is manager that corresponds to status of Cronus as tsar of the Golden Age.
Besides Cronus is the father of wise centaur Chiron that confirms the parity with zodiac constellation Sagittarius as Sagittarius is a centaur and Chiron is the centaur.
Rhea is the great mother of Olympic gods and corresponds with the zodiac constellation Virgo which symbolizes the virgin Earth whose children are intended for the great future.
Rhea was identified with Cybele whose priests gave vows of chastity and fidelity to the great mother of gods.
Besides Nymphs correspond with the zodiac constellation Virgo and are deities of a pure and protogenic (virgin) nature.
Perhaps it is possible to consider the variant according to which Cronus corresponds with the astrological sign Gemini and Crius corresponds with the astrological sign Sagittarius that corresponds to structure of the astrological circle and corresponds to the scheme of management of planets in astrological signs more correctly. But nevertheless Cronus is correlated to the astrological sign Sagittarius and Crius is correlated to the astrological sign Gemini, as Cronus was the most important and united titans by means of the common idea that is peculiar to the astrological sign Sagittarius. Cronus was the younger brother among titans but began the most important among them and consequently it is possible that Crius has given own place and functions to Cronus, and itself has taken the place and functions of Cronus. The modern astrology does not know planets which exalt in astrological signs Sagittarius and Gemini, consequently it is possible that exalted planets determine parities of Cronus and Crius with astrological circle, and in essence determine position of these titans in the universe.

The listed properties of male titans and female titans are a part of all properties which can be found in myths of ancient Greece, but the listed properties allow to make the general representation how the Greek gods correspond with astrological circle and zodiac constellations. The detailed information on the Greek gods look in books of the ancient Greek philosophers and historians, and also poets and other thinkers. Or use Mythological Encyclopedias in which there are data on the Greek gods, and also use books of modern writers in which myths of ancient Greece are analyzed.
On pages of other site look the additional information about planets which operate or exalt in those or other astrological signs: www.emotions.64g.ru/prof4/pr5.htm.

Cronus and Rhea have taken a place of the Supreme titans and have formed world global categories of space and time, namely when titans have formed astrological circle then there was time and space in which the astrological circle exists. Before there were only world global categories of matter and energy which personified by Gaia and Uranus, but titans have generated the time and spatial continuum of the world. Namely titans have formed the world in which there are world global categories of space and time and consequently Gaia (matter) and Uranus (energy) were involved in the existential continuum of titans, and were subordinated to laws of space and time.
The following generation of gods were children of titans (titanids) who have formed a circle of Olympic gods as a place of their life was mountain Olympus. In essence a place of their life became the new world which differs from the world of titans as Olympic gods have introduced new qualities in the world. It is possible to tell that astrological circle was transformed according to qualities which Olympic gods had.
As a result of struggle the Olympic gods have taken a place of some titans thrown in Tartarus and Olympic gods have formed the world of new gods, namely have formed the mythological world which is put in the basis of the Greek culture, and also the similar mythological worlds were put in the basis of all terrestrial cultures.
Olympic gods and titans are a conglomerate of world phenomena which are comparable to gods of other nations, and also are comparable to numerological numbers and astrological symbols as symbols of numerology and astrology are universal. Therefore it is possible to consider Olympic gods and titans from the view point of astrology and to correlate to zodiacal constellations and also planets, or it is possible to consider Olympic gods and titans from the view point of numerology and to correlate to numbers. But it is impossible to identify numerological numbers with astrological planets and zodiacal constellations i.e. it is necessary to distinguish values of numbers in numerology and values of astrological symbols. Namely titans and Olympic gods correspond with astrological circle and form structures of the world, and also titans and Olympic gods correspond with numerological numbers which alongside with astrological circle are symbols of the universe.
Total the first generation of gods are global world categories of matter and energy which correspond with initial potentialities of world Gaia, Chaos, Tartarus, Eros and Uranus. Provided that the Gaia symbolizes a matter, Uranus symbolizes an energy, the Chaos symbolizes a no formalized condition of a matter, Eros symbolizes creation of a matter, Tartarus symbolizes destruction of a matter.
The second generation of gods are global world categories of time and space which by means of titans are added to categories of matter and energy, and in particular Supreme male titan Cronus symbolizes time and Supreme female titan Rhea symbolizes space.
The third generation of gods are Olympic gods who have formed four elements in the world about what it is told on the following page.

The following page describes gods who correspond to numerological numbers 6 and 4, and also describes qualities which are introduced in the world by Olympic gods.
