But since it has lost the ancient privilege of unlversality, the French has appropriated a great portion of its rights: the justness and clearness which cha racterise it, seem, in fact, to qualify this lan guage for becoming the habitual idiom of a science in which a perspicuous arrangement of ideas, and propriety of expression, are 311 most as necessary as a spirit of analysis and of criticism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis brochure by Brother Wright, a Masonic scholar of Oxford, England, contains the ripest scholarship on Eleusis, its rites, symbols, and legends. This study of the Grecian mysteries shows the ties between the rituals celebrated in the 7th century BC and the 19th cent Freemasonry tradition. As the author noted, there is a striking resemblance in many points to the Operative and Speculative Freemasonry practices, which laid the basis of this work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Homeric Hymn to Demeter, composed in the late seventh or early sixth century B.C.E., is a key to understanding the psychological and religious world of ancient Greek women. The poem tells how Hades, lord of the underworld, abducted the goddess Persephone and how her grieving mother, Demeter, the goddess of grain, forced the gods to allow Persephone to return to her for part of each year. Helene Foley presents the Greek text and an annotated translation of this poem, together with selected essays that give the reader a rich understanding of the Hymn's structure and artistry, its role in the religious life of the ancient world, and its meaning for the modern world.
