Oops.  The Turville-Petre book I attempted to recommend is in fact
titled _Myth_and_Religion_of_the_North_.

_Gods_of_the_Ancient_Northmen_ is by Georges Dumezil, the father of
comparative Indo-European mythology.

This illustrates the dangers of trying to say anything on this
subject when one is not at home, library at hand.  :^)

I can't help you with your specific question (Hercules and Antaeus),
but I heartily recommend Vincent Scully's _The Earth, The Temple, and
The Gods_, which is all about how the Greeks situated temples with
regard to certain aspects of the landscape which they considered
sacred, and how their siting of the temples tied into the associated
myths of the places.  I carried this book with me when I visited the
sites in Greece, and I found it to be very insightful.

    According to Willey Let's _The Lungfish, the dodo and the Unicorn_, the
word translated "unicorn" in the English bible is _re'em_, an animal which
had been tentatively identified, at the time Ley wrote (back in the '50s) 
as the aurochs, or urus - a sort of huge wild cattle, driven to extinction
in late classical times but recently reconstructed (as it were) from modern
cattle. They're close relatives of the Indian _gawr_, some of the most
impressive beaties I've every seen. This accords with the re'em's being used
as a symbol of something big and powerful in the scriptures. I think the
place is Job, where Yahveh is droning on and on about how He is so mind-
bogglingly manly Job shouldn't even THINK about messing with Him, but I
could be wrong.

I heard that the "unicorn in _The Bible_" thing was due to a misundertanding.
Supposedly the original passage was talking about rhinos.

I don't know where it's mentioned, and I don't know where I read that
either. I've already said everything I know on the subject.

A few days ago I've read in an encyclopedia about unicorns, and the article

Is this true, and where are they mentioned?

Who dare question the wisdom of the all knowing net! :)

Semele was one of Jupiter's lovers, and died after she saw Jupiter in
his true form, after Juno jealsouly tricked her into asking Jupiter to
show himself as he was.  I think there was some other stuff to the
story, but if I didn't get it right the all knowing net will correcte

	I guess the subject line says it all.  Is Mircea Eliade dead or

still  accepted among scholars of comparative religion.)   I've always 
assumed that he left us for that "great archetype in the sky" a number of

As I recall, this was a mistranslation inserted by the Septuagint when
producing the Greek version of the Bible.  They did not know the
Hebrew word re'em (sp?), and, seeing from context that it referred to
a powerful animal, came up with unicorn, a word which probably
originally referred to the Indian rhinoceros.

This is from a book by Willy Ley about mythological and unusual
animals.

She was tricked by Juno into asking Jupiter to show himself to her in 
all his godly glory.  Being merely mortal, the sight destroyed her.  Jupiter
saved her unborn child, sewing him into his own leg until he was ready to be
born.

Another mention of the flood myth is in Mayan myth. 

( This is the gist of it... >

The world experiences a flood and some of tha animals and men safe 
themselves from being drowned by staying on top of a mountain.

One day, they decide to send out one of the birds to see if the
waters are receding. They send out the buzzard, and it flies off to
search for signs of the end of the flood.

It flies for a long time, and then comes upon a hill, and sees that
the top of it is bare, indicating that the waters probably are
falling. But exposed by these receding waters are the dead bodies
of animals and men, and being so hungry from flying around, it
decides to eat the flesh of these corpses.

It eats and eats, and flies back to the original hill, but the other
beings won't let it live with them anymore, due to the foul smell
coming from it. * I think it gets cursed, or something now... *

Now, the buzzard carries this foul smell always, and is doomed
to be a carrion-eater forever.

The unicorn, rhino confusion apparently isn't a confusion.
I don't have the book with me, but I own reprint of a medeival bestiary

See, you answered your question yourself.  They took the name Pink Floyd
