 Athena. |
Athena. (numerology of number 5). Athena is the daughter of Zeus and Metis. The name of Athena means "idea". According to a prophecy the son of Metis should was to overthrow authority of Zeus, but Zeus has swallowed Metis and as a result the son was not birth, but Prometheus has split head of Zeus and Athena has appeared on light instead of the predicted son. Also it is considered that the image of Athena has fallen from the sky and consequently a source of her birth is not known to the world. Athena is the goddess of wisdom which force surpasses force of Zeus. She associates with an owl and a snake. Anybody of mortals can not see her without her sanction. Medusa Gorgon is killed by Athena by means of Perseus and the Gorgon Medusa's head is on a shield of Athena that frightens gods and people as the gaze of the Medusa Gorgon transforms gods and people into a stone. Athena has gift of a prophecy. Athena (Athena Parthenos) is virgin and protects piety of gods, that is mutual relation of gods are not moral from the view point of people but nevertheless Athena demands sacred respect for gods. She is the patron of heroes whose feats and brave acts help to organize good life of people due to which the civilization develops, and in particular she is a source of the Greek civilization. Namely Athena is a personification of the Greek democracy due to which there was the Greek culture. Athena patronizes handicraftsmen whose work allows to develop civilization. She has helped Prometheus to steal fire from smithy of Hephaestus and has helped to give fire to people. She has invented the flute and has presented to Apollo as she has musical abilities.. |
Athena is the armed warrior goddess and has bravery. She articipated in struggle
of Zeus against titans that specifies interest of Athena in transformation of
the world which has taken place by means of Olympic gods after overthrow of
titans. But power and wisdom
of Athena surpasses authority of Zeus and consequently it is possible to speak
that Athena is the conqueror of titans. She is accompanied by the winged goddess of
victory Nike and consequently she is the victor.
Her touch makes people excellent. Namely she has touched Ulysses who became the
most graceful and wise among all Greek tsars.
In Roman mythology Athena is identified to Minerva who was the patroness of
handicraftsmen, writers, artists, musicians, doctors, teachers, whose
work served development of a civilization. In essence Athena is personification
of organizing and directing force of reason which initiates development of reasonable human life.
Athena was identified to image of Sophia the Wisdom of God in the beginning of Christian epoch.
The temple Parthenon is devoted to Athena. Proportions of Parthenon contain
number 5 that confirms ratio of the mythological image of Athena with
numerological number 5. For example,
height of columns of Parthenon has a proportional ratio (section) with diameter
of columns 1:5 (fraction 1/5), and also other sizes of Parthenon have
proportional ratio which are variants of the ratio 1:5.
Number 5 and geometrical figure of a pentagon were symbols of Pythagorean
numerology and Pythagorean philosophy. Therefore it is possible to assert that number 5 is
key number in numerology and symbolizes especial world-forming divine principles, and also
Athena is the especial goddess among Olympic gods.
Undoubtedly that architects and builders have ciphered number 5 in
proportions of Parthenon as this numerological number corresponds with
image of Athena. And also it is doubtless that founders of Parthenon were
acquainted with Pythagorean numerology and philosophy, and consequently founders used
number 5 for calculations of proportions of Parthenon.
Besides the geometrical figure of a pentagon contains proportional ratio of Gold
Section which is a basic principle of beauty and harmony, and is a fine basic
principle for construction of Parthenon which is devoted to Athena the most
significant Greek goddess.
More detailed information on Pythagorean philosophy and about connection of numerological number 5 with architectural
proportions of Parthenon and with image of Athena look in other sources of the information.
The name Sophia means "wisdom" or "skill". She is personification
of divine glory, namely Sophia is a womanly creative image which as a mirror reflects greatness of the God and ideal samples
according to which there is a creation of the world.
The word "sofia" was an epithet of Athena in ancient Greek philosophy, namely
this word meant the wisdom and divine superiority of Athena in comparison with
other Olympic gods. But in Christian philosophy this word became a name which
was realized from the view point of the new knowledge which has come in the
world together with birth of Jesus Christ. Namely the image of Athena was
rethought and there was the new name of Sofia the Wisdom of God according to a
new level of development of the human civilization, and according to new
comprehension of the world which became accessible to people.
The image of Sofia can be understood according to concepts of Gnostic
Christianity and in particular the image of Sofia is described in the Gnostic Apocryphon of apostle John.
The summary of the Apocryphon of apostle John look on pages of other site:

Apostles were the first carriers of new knowledge and consequently did not
reject former representation about a structure of the world, but they realized
the validity of myths according to which people perceived world around in a
context of pagan religions. Namely mythological legends of ancient Greece and
also myths of other ancient cultures were not fairy tales and errors for
apostles, but apostles realized that myths describe invisible essence of the
world and doubtless phenomena of which the world consists, and apostles realized
alive essence of hidden phenomena and saw their displays in the visible world.
In particular in the Apocryphon of apostle John the world is a conglomerate of
many phenomena (Archons) which determine existence of the world. But these
phenomena are imperfect, and in essence all comprehended world was imperfect for
apostles and the first Christians in comparison with other perfect world about
which Jesus spoke. Initial potentialities of a primary matter: Chaos, Eros, Tartarus,
Gaia and energy of Uranus; global world categories of titans: matter, energy,
space, time, movement; and also world elements of Olympic gods: air, water,
fire, earth, were perceived by apostles as formations and structural elements of
the imperfect world, but in the imperfect world apostles saw preconditions of
other future world in which the matter will be transfigured thanking Epinoia of
light of the perfect world.
One of sources of the future world and the agent (messengery) from the perfect
world was the pagan Athena due to which philosophers and thinkers of ancient
Greece had an opportunity to describe the world and to teach people. Knowledge
of philosophers were caused by the imperfect world but people should understand
a structure of the imperfect world for understanding of Christian true to
distinguish true from imperfection. Therefore in ancient Greece the Athena was
personification of wisdom and was the most esteemed goddess before birth of the
Christ, but the image of Athena was rethought in understanding of the first
Christians and was named Sophia the Wisdom of God, and also the name of Sofia
was separated from pagan gods and compared to wisdom which is shown to people by Epinoia
of light of the perfect world for the sake of the future transfiguration.
In all cultures of ancient peoples there were presages of Christian epoch which
consist in mythological both philosophical concepts, and many people expected
arrival of the Christ, but in ancient Greece thanking Athena and in essence due
to the Greek democracy there was a philosophy which began adequate for
recognition of the Christ's true. Therefore it is considered that the Christian
philosophy is the transformed ancient Greek philosophy, but nevertheless it is
necessary to take into account that Jesus Christ's birth has brought the new
knowledge of other perfect world and other God who is not comparable with pagan
deities of the imperfect world. And also it is necessary to take into account
that Jesus Christ's birth has transformed the world and consequently knowledge
of the former world became doubtful.
Sofia began to proclaim propagation of Christianity among all peoples after
birth of the Christ. In particular primary Christian temples of Russian lands
were devoted to Sofia: Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kiev, Saint Sophia Cathedral in
Novgorod, Saint Sophia Cathedral in Polotsk, Saint Sophia Cathedral in Suzdal.
Luminous Epinoia of light.
Concepts of Gnostic Christianity.
Epinoia of light is composed of Sophia the Wisdom of God, namely Epinoia
together with Sofia are image of the perfect world which is shown to people in
the imperfect world. In the Gnostic Apocryphon of apostle John it is written:
"He (Christ) sent, through his beneficent Spirit and his great mercy, a helper to Adam (man),
luminous Epinoia which comes out of him, who is called Life". Hence,
Epinoia is a derivative of the perfect world and forms in the imperfect world
the global world category which has the name life. Namely the world consists of
6 global categories: matter, energy, time, space, movement, life. Four global
categories are formed by titans in a context of the Greek mythology, and two
global categories movement and life are connected to Sophia the Wisdom of God
and Epinoia of light. Sofia forms movement and Epinoia forms life.
Epinoia is a Greek word which has complex value and is connected to words Pronoia
and Ennoia, that is shown on the scheme:
 |
Apparently on the scheme, the divine world is the
Spirit of God and Pronoia in which the image of the God's Spirit and
Spirit of the Christ are open. Pleroma of the perfect world consists of twelve aeons and is formed by the Christ's Idea and Ennoia and Word which are three sources of creation. Sofia is one of aeons of the perfect pleroma. The imperfect world are ideas and words of the man, and also the luminous Epinoia of light is shown in the imperfect world. And Epinoia is image of Pronoia of the God's Spirit and image of Ennoia of the Christ. Ideas and words of the man are capable to change the imperfect world thanking Epinoia of light in which Pronoia and Ennoia are displayed. From the view point of physiognomy of a human face: the forehead is a parameter of ideas, the mouth is a parameter of words, eyes are parameter of Epinoia, namely in essence Epinoia is individuality and soul of the man. The information on physiognomy of a human face, and also the information on displays of Epinoia of light look on pages of other site: www.emotions.64g.ru/en.htm |
The following page considers concepts of Gnostic Christianity which are Christian understanding for myths of ancient Greece and ancient Greek philosophy, and also myths of other ancient cultures and peoples.
