Book excerpt: First published in 1899, Sinai and Olympus is a classic, an outstanding example of the thoughtful, reasoned, and well-researched sort of writing that characterized Texas' Golden Age of Freethought, an era that began shortly after the Civil War and lasted until just before the First World War began. For reasons that have been lost to history, its author, who is now known to have been a prominent Dallas lawyer, chose to mask his identity by humorously styling himself "A Texas Pagan."The author's message, which is just as compelling today as it was at the end of the nineteenth century, is quite clear: There is ample evidence that all deities are human constructs and that the most recent, the Judaeo-Christian god of today, is the result of plagiarism, that he and other biblical figures are recognizably-similar versions of the earlier so-called "pagan" gods that were invented and worshiped by the ancient Greeks and Romans. In the book's final chapters, he implores his readers to free themselves from the "despotism of a false religion," a "frightful superstition that poisons every source of happiness and blights every joy in, perhaps, the only life we shall ever live" and come into the light of reason.

Download or read book The Folds of Olympus written by Jason König and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cultural and literary history of mountains in classical antiquity The mountainous character of the Mediterranean was a crucial factor in the history of the ancient Greek and Roman world. The Folds of Olympus is a cultural and literary history that explores the important role mountains played in Greek and Roman religious, military, and economic life, as well as in the identity of communities over a millennium—from Homer to the early Christian saints. Aimed at readers of ancient history and literature as well as those interested in mountains and the environment, the book offers a powerful account of the landscape at the heart of much Greek and Roman culture. Jason König charts the importance of mountains in religion and pilgrimage, the aesthetic vision of mountains in art and literature, the place of mountains in conquest and warfare, and representations of mountain life. He shows how mountains were central to the way in which the inhabitants of the ancient Mediterranean understood the boundaries between the divine and the human, and the limits of human knowledge and control. He also argues that there is more continuity than normally assumed between ancient descriptions of mountains and modern accounts of the picturesque and the sublime. Offering a unique perspective on the history of classical culture, The Folds of Olympus is also a resoundingly original contribution to the literature on mountains.
