King Solomon’s Mythic Duality
King Solomon stands out as a figure of enduring significance across a wide range of religious, literary, and folkloric traditions. In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, he is depicted as a wise and divinely guided ruler endowed with extraordinary wisdom and understanding, as well as the ability to communicate with animals, spirits, and other supernatural beings. Beyond his historical and religious significance, Solomon also appears in many folk ta…
Copernicus and Copernicans
Copernicus claimed the Earth revolves around itself and the Sun. He also claimed that the universe was finite and that no intelligent life existed on other planets. Galileo and Kepler shared these claims; therefore, they deserve to be called Copernicans. But what about Giordano Bruno? He adopted Hermetic philosophy and opposed Copernicus’s mathematical (geometric) method; he also claimed, unlike Copernicus, that the universe was infinite and that…

This argument has been criticized by authors such as A. O. Lovejoy, Remi Brague, and Dennis R. Danielson, who argue that the geocentric model of the Universe humiliated man rather than glorified him, since the Earth, as the center of the Universe, was seen as t…
A Feminist Interpretation of A True Story of Lucian of Samosata
Lucian of Samosata was a satirist and rhetorician who lived in the second century BC. He was the author of the earliest known science fiction novel, A True Story. In this story, Lucian travels to the Moon, joining the war between the moon people and the solar people. What makes this story interesting is that Lucian tells us there are no women among moon people, and men give birth to children. As stated rightly by Morena Deriu, this situation can …
