Two hundred years from now, the earth is past the point of recovery from exploitation by humankind. Pollution of all kinds, human-induced climate change and overpopulation, have all contributed to the generally held belief that the human species will be nearing the end of days on earth. An international collaboration of scientists convinces governments that investing in the creation and construction of massive spaceships and sending these ships to inhabitable worlds somewhere among other galactic so-called Goldilocks Zone planetary systems is the salvation of the human species. The journey will require a century to reach Antares 987, a planet orbiting a star named Demeter. After years of design and orbital construction, three starships""Andromeda, Aquarius, and Cassiopeia""are completed and ready for launch in the year 2222. Aboard these vessels are three thousand unborn children in stasis chambers, divided between the three ships. Three female cyborg organics, connected to artificial intelligence, are on-board capable of operation of the ships throughout the journey""and one male, brought aboard for the purpose of teaching three ideas central to the creation of community: empathy, compassion, and sacrifice. Without this teaching, it is deemed community will fail when new generations are born, based upon the example of earth's human history. The story, a saga of a kind, is divided into three parts. The first covers the journey and the establishment of community. The second part posits the idea that humankind is God's ultimate evangelist and that faith is abundant throughout the universe among all living things""including unknown inhabitants of the planet. The third part confronts humankind with the necessity of continued vigilance and a failing planet. The only alternative is an exodus to another world, a world with many dangers and challenges. It also establishes the continuance of evangelism through calling and confronts the children of the stars with the additional presence of other beings. The Twins of Demeter was written with the intention of creating a science fiction that emphasizes positive opportunities if the human species chooses to seek refuge somewhere else in God's universe. The book is devoid of the "little green men" concept of extraterrestrial life-forms. The text builds upon the premise that humankind is God's ultimate creation who flourishes when faith is part of everyday life and community is the sustaining foundation of survival and progress as a species.

Download Demeter and Persephone in Ancient Corinth Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
When the Roman tourist Pausanias visited Corinth around A.D. 160, he saw many shrines and buildings high up to the south of the city, on the slopes of Acrocorinth. This booklet describes excavations at one of these, the Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone (Kore). The details of religious rites revealed are of particular interest since the cult of the two goddesses, also celebrated at Eleusis, is one of the most mysterious in antiquity, and no literary testimony exists to explain what may have happened behind the high walls. Terracotta dolls, ritual meals of pork, and miniature models of food-filled platters hint at a vigorous religious tradition associated with human and agricultural fertility.

Download Demeter and Persephone Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The classical Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone as told in Homer's Hymn to Demeter has been used most often to explain the cycle of the seasons. However, a closer examination will reveal insights on living and dying, loss and reconciliation, and suffering and healing. This work demostrates the continued importance and relevance of the myth of Demeter and Persephone to today's society. The first three chapters provide a summary of the Homeric story and examine the myth from the perspectives of the mother and daughter. The following chapters discuss the symbolism of critical objects, the role of female mentoring, the role of Hades and the meaning of the underworld, the subject of rape, and the masculinist perspective presented by Zeus and Helios, and derive lessons useful for healing and knowledge. The Hymn to Demeter as translated by Helene Foley is included as an appendix in order to provide a basis for the discussion in the text. Notes and a bibliography also follow the text.
