Jason's Cloak and Jason as 'anti-Hero'
[Anthony Bulloch, Berkeley University, California]
'Ulysses' 'Odysseus' and 'Jason' are different names for the same Mythologic figure
FREDERICK APTHORP PALEY (1815-1888) was a British classical scholar famed for his editions of several classical works. In this piece, Paley drew on emerging German scholarship that suggested more ancient origins for the stories behind the Homeric poems to investigate whether Homer used an early version of the Argonautica in developing the Odyssey. This work, first published in the Dublin Review in 1879, is notable both for anticipating future scholarship and for suggesting that Greek mythology had not just Bronze Age antecedents but possibly forerunners dating back to the Ice Age, a claim echoed in modern fringe history hypotheses of a lost civilization and its myths
Possibly it will be objected that the solar interpretation of the story is strained and unnatural.
A golden fleece “may have meant a rude method of collecting gold particles from running streams.
These adventurers may, after all have only desired to go to certain far-off “diggings,” the reputation of which had reached them from the reports of merchants or travellers.
They may have gone in search of a breed of sheep with wool of a naturally yellowish tint, like that of the Spanish sheep, so much prized by the Romans; [2] or, lastly, they may have been Phoenician adventurers, influenced solely by a wish to extend their commerce.
It is desirable, therefore, at the outset, to show that the sun is generally symbolised by a fiery cloud, or golden fleece, as the mantle of glory and majesty in which the god is wrapped.
Amictus lumine sicut vestimento is the description that the Psalmist gives to the Divine Being himself.
[3] The aegis of Pallas, the goddess of the Dawn, is in the same manner the fringed cloud that arrays in spangled light the Aurora of the Greek Mythology.
[4] It was represented in ancient art, as may be seen on many of the early Greek vases, as a fringed goat-skin, the root of the word, which implies “rushing motion,” being confounded with αἴξ, “a goat.”
We read in Homer [5] of the golden tassels or fringes surrounding it, and Herodotus tells us [6] that the dress of the goddess was derived from the stained goat-skins (apparently closely akin to what we still call Morocco leather) worn by Libyan women.
This shows that he had not the least suspicion of the true origin of the symbol, as a solar “glory.”
Even in early Christian art the oval nimbus, or aureole, enveloping the whole form of the Blessed Virgin, may be referred to the same traditional idea.
The edges of the goat-skins were cut in strips and curled to imitate snakes’ heads, and this, which at first merely represented the ragged edges of a cloud, was designed to add terror to the form of the dread war-goddess.
Again, the narrative in the “Odyssey” about Cyclops, and the blinding of his one eye, is either a very silly and impossible story, or it is a myth not inappropriately describing the extinction of the sun, the eye of day, in the “forehead of the sky,” as Milton calls it.
If Ulysses himself meant, as the name will allow him to mean, the “setting sun,” the interpretation is as simple as possible; the setting of the sun puts out, or removes from sight, the orb that is the eye of the world — that far-ranging power to whom poets naturally and spontaneously attribute the faculty of sight.
But you will convince very few persons, if you propound such a view, reasonable as it is and perfectly consistent in itself.
Not less evident is it that the numerous and varied stories of the descent of heroes into the nether world in quest of some departed friend, whom they brought back to life, like Orpheus, who went to recover his Eurydice, are founded on the apparent sinking of the sun below the horizon and his speedy return to the surface of the world.
Nothing, we say, can be more clear than this ; and those who cannot accept such an interpretation cannot have gone far into the history of primitive thought.
If there is one fact more certain than another in the records and monuments of the ancient world, it is the wide prevalence of sun-worship. Therefore, there is the strongest antecedent probability that many of the primitive myths symbolise sun-worship too.
The Sirens, or “Pipers,” form the subject of another myth common to Homer and Apollonius. They are not mentioned by Hesiod, Pindar, or Aeschylus; but Sophocles is quoted by Plutarch as having referred to them in connexion with the wanderings of Ulysses, [59] and Euripides alludes to them once in the “Helena.” [60] We read in Homer of their enchanting songs, and of Ulysses having stopped the ears of his crew with wax, that they might not hear those lovely but fatal strains as they sailed past the island, while he himself listened to them tied fast to the mast”
Although the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece contains elements of myth
and folklore, Jason's quest may have a historical basis

Homer is the only Greek author mentioned by name in the [Fictional]Talmud- the influence of the 'Odyssey'
can be seen in the 'Book of Tobit' probably written Aramaic in the second century bce
So, in the Myth of the Poetic 'Odyssey' various common features keep re-appearing- the most prominent being 'Absent Fathers'.
Lloyd Bridges, played 'Mike Nelson' in the TV series 'SEAHUNT'
The name of His Boat in the bulk of the Series? -THE ARGONAUT
Of course, Homer based His Tale on the 'Epic of Gilgamesh' which is the basis of so-called 'Freemasonry'
the thing to remember is Poets [like Lloyd's Wife Dorothy] unconsciously re-produce Mythologems
which on first viewing have nothing in common with the Subject Matter.
Lloyd is quoted as saying 'carrying all that heavy Scuba Gear around during filming'
was both exhausting and tedious- yet Fan Websites have documented Balsa Wood 'Props'
almost indistinguishable from the real thing
were provided to the Actors whilst 'Stand-ins' did action sequences?
Lloyd, it would appear, was not above stretching the truth when it suited Him
-something His Actor kids would of course also do in later life?
You play Your Games-I play Mine
there are rules...The first one is do not underestimate your opponent's intelligence
another name for an 'Argonaut' is 'Conman/Gold Digger' or? Actor.
Sons Beau and Jeff followed his lead; each had their acting debuts on Sea Hunt and would inherit Lloyd’s passion for ocean conservancy.
While Nelson’s is a haven for oceanside dining, it also provides a slice of Hollywood history. Taking their cue from this rich history, the developers at Terranea reached out to the Bridges family to request their involvement in the planning of Nelson’s. The family was excited to be involved and donated their collection of photos to decorate the space. The posters are from their Sea Hunt comic book collection.
Lucinda provided back-story on the framed coin that hangs on the east wall: “The souvenir coin was an idea of our mom’s brother, Frederic Simpson, Jr. My mom’s dad, our grandpa, used to help with Dad’s fan mail, and he would include a medallion in each autographed photo. We all have one of those good luck medallions on our key chains … so do our kids.” As a result, the room has a personal feel from the photos and posters. Lloyd’s diving helmet is there on loan from the family as well.

HAMLET the SHAKESPEARE PLAY...is seen by some Psychologists to be an example of
what FREUD called THE OEDIPUS COMPLEX.
HOLLYWOOD Movie Makers have long known about this.
.webp)
Strange Illusion (1945) is a low-budget film noir loosely inspired by Hamlet, where a college student’s unsettling dreams lead him to suspect his widowed mother’s charming suitor has a dark agenda. Director Edgar G. Ulmer’s moody, dreamlike visuals and psychological tension elevate this otherwise uneven thriller. Critics find its premise engrossing, making it worth seeing for noir fans who appreciate atmosphere over polish.
this from IMDB-
Draws on the plot of William Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Hamlet's plot involves a Danish Prince who tries to exact revenge against his uncle, who has murdered the Prince's father in order to seize his throne and marry his mother. While Strange Illusion is by no means completely faithful to the original Shakespeare story-line - the character Ophelia doesn't exist here, and the tragic finale is replaced with a happy ending. In any case, Ulmer's film remains a fascinating attempt at re-imagining Shakespeare's Hamlet. Here, he is young Paul who lives in bucolic Southern California next to exclusive private schools and toney country clubs. To this, the plot adds a bit more - the protagonist admits himself into an insane asylum. This allows time for our scheming director Edgar G. Ulmer to amp up the cinematic tension, with added touches and moody lighting effects.
The Promotional Posters correctly call this old 'Noir' [=Black in French] Movie a 'Psychological'
Thriller....
but SHAKESPEARE [see My 'Gone' Post] would have known nothing about Psychology
His inclusion of Skulls and other 'DEATH SYMBOLS' would have been seen by His Audiences
as 'Supernatural' Phenomena 'Spirits' etc and the undoubted popularity of these performances would endure throughout the History of Theatre.
LEBOWSKI is another version of HAMLET.
Every Character that actually comes into contact with a BOWLING BALL [in the Movie]
is an 'ARCHETYPE OF THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS' .. JEFF never handles any Bowling Ball and this sets Him apart- All the GOAT SYMBOLISM [GOATEE BEARDS CABRIOLET CARS
QUINTANA ETC] that the COENS have included are 'PAN' Symbols that originally came
from a 'Temple' in the Golan Heights - right where Amanita Mushrooms grow in abundance-
along with SATIVA Plants-Cannabis has many Names
GOATS and SHEEP are mentioned often in the Bible- 'Google it' to see.
JESUS or 'YESHUA?' ... during the ROMAN OCCUPATION OF PALAESTRINA...
the only Caucasians there would not have been indigenous- there were few White faces in that Region
-even fewer with the English Names 'John Mathew Luke Paul' who could speak 'Aramaic'...there were many however
with the Name 'JUDAS' or 'JUDAH'...
or 'JUDE'. DUDE.
it is now accepted that 'Hebrew' Language has 'borrowed' many words from Greek Roots.
'SOD' is 'SECRET'....
THE 'BABA YAGA'
[THE SOMEWHAT 'CHICKEN LEGGED' 'FEMALE' STAR OF THE BROKEN BATHROOM ] IS REALLY 'HERSCHEL OSTROPOLER' THE TRICKSTER FIGURE WHO
'SHAPESHIFTS' INTO THIS 'DIVINE WHORE OF BABYLON'..IN THE IMAGINATION OF THE REGRESSED HYPNOTIC SUBJECTS-[THE ACTORS]
HUNGUS DOES NOT 'FIX' THE CABLE [USE COCAINE-CABLE IS STREET FOR COCAINE]
'HE' SAYS HE IS 'EX-PERT' AND COMES ATTIRED WITH A TOOL-BELT ETC -YET HE DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXPLAIN WHAT HIS 'EX-PERTISE' IS? BUT WE KNOW FROM HIS APPELLATION THAT 'HE' IS OF NORDIC/GERMANIC HERITAGE
HE IS PLAYING AT BEING HENRIK 'IBSEN'S 'MASTER BUILDER [STAGE PLAY]
BUT I'VE COVERED MOST OF IBSEN'S WORKS IN EARLIER [INTRODUCTION] POSTS.
EASTERN [EUROPEAN] 'SLAVIC MYTHOLOGY' HOLDS MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT
THE PAN-THEISTIC 'GODS' PRE-CHRISTIANITY
'CHERNOBOG' WAS NOT AN ACTUAL 'GOD' BUT OVER TIME BECAME ANTHROPO-MORPHED INTO A PERSONIFICATION OF 'DARKNESS' 'NEGATIVITY' ETC
A BETTER TERM WOULD BE 'SHADOW' .
REMEMBER, ALL THIS IS BASED ON THEATRE/CIRCUS - SO HUNGUS IS PRETENDING
TO BE AN ELECTRICIAN/TECHNICIAN- OFTEN CALLED A 'SPARK'
THIS RELATES TO LIGHTING SPOTLIGHTS ETC AND OF COURSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
SOMEONE HAS BEEN ELECTROCUTED OR UNDERGONE ELECTRIC SHOCK THERAPY
AS A CHILD. [THIS RELATES TO EPILEPSY]
'SPARKY THE FIRE DOG' IS PROBABLY A JUVENILE MEMORY..THAT RELATES TO
ALL THE FIRE SYMBOLISM THROUGHOUT 'LEBOWSKI' ..POKERS BURNING CARS
AND SO ON
'DOES THE POPE SHIT IN THE WOODS?' COULD BE RELEVANT HERE...
FIRE-STARTING AND DELINQUENCY ARE WELL KNOWN
AGAINST ALL ODDS DUDE?
above [Excellent] Site is full of early USA Comic Figures
HUNGUS IS DRIVING A CABRIOLET 'BEEMER' [COCAINE IN STREET] BUT CABRIOLET
IS A WORD DERIVED FROM 'GOAT' IN ITALIAN.... AND 'CAPRICIOUS' SO HUNGUS IS
ACTUALLY PRETENDING TO BE THE ASTRAL CONSTELLATION 'CAPRICORN' - ACTING THE GOAT.
'HE' HAS TO BE A MEMORY [PROBABLY OF AN ACTUAL STAGE-HAND IN THE THEATRE]
OF A PERSON KNOWN IN CHILDHOOD.
BUT THE 'FIRE-GOD' ARCHETYPE [ie THE SUN] IS YET AGAIN HIDDEN IN CHARACTERS
[THUS SPAKE THE PERSIAN FIRE-GOD 'ZARATHUSTRA']
I'M RA-MBLIN AGIN' GET IT? RA IS THE EGYPTIAN [SNAKE]SUN-GOD AND SURPRISINGLY
'GIN' IS A VERY POPULAR 'SPIRIT DRINK' AMONG PEOPLE OF SPANISH HERITAGE
'SOL' IS A POPULAR BEER IN MEXICO - AS IS 'CORONA'...
AND JEFF LEBOWSKI IS ALL OF THESE THINGS IN SYMBOL 'FORM'
SUN AND MOON DUDE...NEST OF VIPERS OR HERPETOLOGISTS?
HERPES IS AN STD.
'SHAPESHIFTERS' ARE 'COMPLEXES' IN PSYCHOLOGY- EACH CONTAINS ITS OWN OPPOSITE
FINALLY ITS POSSIBLE TO SEE WHY JEFF BRIDGES WAS CHOSEN OVER MARLON BRANDO TO PLAY THE PART OF 'DUDE'...
THEY WERE BIG FANS OF SEAHUNT TV SERIES- AS WERE MILLIONS WORLDWIDE.
GETTING THE SON OF LLOYD ? TO APPEAR AS A FOOL?
I'M BETTING THEY TRIED TO GET BEAU FIRST BUT HE WAS PROBABLY CONTRACTED ELSEWHERE
POOR UPTIGHT SERIOUS JEFF WAS TOTALLY DEDICATED TO PLAYING THE PART....
HE NEVER REALISED HE WAS BEING USED.
THE COENS THOUGHT THEY WERE TAKING THE PISS AFTER READING FREUD'S IDEAS ABOUT 'LE COQ DU BRUYERE' WITH ITS MICTURATION ..LOL
.webp)
YOUR ROLE! .. BOOMSLANGS AND DIAMOND BACKS, KING BROWNS AND COBRAS
HERPES DUDE...HERPES BEING 'TRANSMITTED' IN SYMBOL FORM.
POXY ACTORS AND POXY MOVIE MAKERS...TOXIC SKIN SHEDDERS
SNAKES IN THE GRASS...
..TAKE IT EASY INDEED.
.webp)
FREUD means 'JOY' in German.
SIGMUND is Norse / Scandinavian Origin which means 'Victory' [Sigu] 'Hero/Protector' [Mund]
but like I said- 'Siggy'-unlike My younger Brother- didn't play Guitar' ..lol..
KARL [derivative of CHARLES] means 'FREEMAN' and JUNG means 'Young' or Youthful...
PATRICK Mc GOOHAN had all kinds jobs and played all kinds of Roles -Pirates seem to have been a favourite..
But like the Character 'COLUMBO' was fond of stating...
'Just one more thing' ..WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER ACT ON A THEATRE STAGE JEFF?
IS IT BECAUSE YOU ARE UNABLE TO LAUGH AT YOUR-SELF?
SELF-HATE? SELF- LOVE? ARE NOT THE SAME THING AS VANITY
YOU ARE NOT A NUMBER-YOU ARE NOT A 'FREEMAN' EITHER
BE SEEIN' YA..
