this was a masterly stroke, for in serapis the greeks and egyptians found a deity in common and thus religious unity was consummated between the two nations. several figures of serapis that stood in his various temples in egypt and rome have been described by early authors. nearly all these showed grecian rather than egyptian influence. in some the body of the god was encircled by the coils of a great serpent. others showed him as a composite of osiris and apis. a description of the god that in all probability is reasonably accurate is that which represents him as a tall, powerful figure, conveying the twofold impression of manly strength and womanly grace. his face portrayed a deeply pensive mood, the expression inclining toward sadness. his hair was long and arranged in a somewhat femin

the rise of greek culture. the oracle of apollo at delphi remains one of the unsolved mysteries of the ancients. alexander wilder derives the name delphi from delphos, the womb. this name was chosen by the greeks be cause of the shape of the cavern and the vent leading into the depths of the earth. the original name of the oracle was pytho, so called because its chambers had been the abode of the great serpent python, a fearsome creature that had crept out of the slime left by the receding flood that had destroyed all human beings except deucalion and pyrrha. apollo, climbing the side of mount parnassus, slew the serpent after a prolonged combat, and threw the body down the fissure of the oracle. from that time the sun god, surnamed the pythian apollo, gave oracles from the vent. with dion

admen, tore themselves from those seeking to restrain them, and, jumping into the vent, perished. in order to prevent others from doing likewise, a wall was erected around the fissure and a prophetess was appointed to act as mediator between the oracle and those who came to question it. according to later authorities, a tripod of gold, ornamented with carvings of apollo in the form of python, the great serpent, was placed over the cleft, and on this was arranged a specially prepared seat, so constructed that a person would have difficulty in falling off while under the influence of the oracular fumes. just before this time, a story had been circulated that the fumes of the oracle arose from the decaying body of python. it is possible that the oracle revealed its own origin. for many centur

's disobedience to the demiurgus, jehovah. how the serpent came to be in the garden of the lord after god had declared that all creatures which he had made during the six days of creation were good has not been satisfactorily answered by the interpreters of scripture. the tree that grows in the midst of the garden is the spinal fire; the knowledge of the use of that spinal fire is the gift of the great serpent. notwithstanding statements to the contrary, the serpent is the symbol and prototype of the universal savior, who redeems the worlds by giving creation the knowledge of itself and the realization of good and evil. if this be not so, why did moses raise a brazen serpent upon a cross in the wilderness that all who looked upon it might be saved from the sting of the lesser snakes? was n
