0 THE TRUE KEY TO ANCIENT COSMOLOGY AND MYTHICAL GEOGRAPHY? Hic vertex nobis semper sublimis, at illum Sub pedibus Styx alra vide! Manesque profundi. THE cosmology of the a11cients has been gravely mis- conceived by modern scholars. All our maps of The VVorld according to Homer represent the earth as flat, and as surrounded by a level, flowing, ocean stream. There can be no doubt, says Bunbury, 4' that Homer, in common with all his successors down to the time of Hecataeus, believed the earth to be a plane of circular form. 2 As to the sky, we are generally taught that the early Greeks believed it to be a solid metallic vault? Professor F. A. Paley aids the imagination of his readers as follows: We might familiarly illustrate the Hesiodic notion of the Hat circular earth and the convex over- arching sky by a circular plate with a hemispherical dish- cover of metal placed over it and concealing it. Above the cover Cwhich is supposed to rotate on an axis, nologj live the gods. Round the inner concavity is the path of the sun, giving light to the earth below. 994 1 Second edition.
