Example of why psycologicall men and women differ, The tenth labour of Hercules - Cows of Geryon, Hercules and exodus, Alexander the great and Tyr.
Men and women are different yet equal in all regards concerning deeds courage and legality. What differs is in respect to the cultural norm surrounding their procreative function. For example, Women get pregnant imagine what it is like having the idea of being able to get pregnant and how one deals with a pregnant self depending on the circumstances. Imagine you are male and can cause a pregnancy but cannot get pregnant; this alone would alter the way each think. There are several other good examples of basic physical differences that affect the psychology of both profoundly.As souls form in bodies one always remembers the difference one had due to being formed from birth as a male or female even if one can take either form later in their existence. Yes one can build co-ed rooms, hermaphrodite, asexual rooms and rooms that have nothing to do with gender.
The Amazonian story fits nicely with the Atlantian story and actually fits the theme of the tasks and the rest of the feats of Hercules including holding up the sky (taking authority) over the Atlantians.It seems the myth of Hercules have to do with the same theme of unifying the world as one people. H inclusion of the amazons and Atlantians spreads the Greek people into the Americas and beyond Europe Africa and Asia.
The tenth labour of Hercules - Cows of Geryon
Geryon was a fearsome giant said to have three heads, three bodies, six arms and sometimes six legs. This description lends well to the description of the Lernaean Hydra. The Giants were the rulers of the peoples symbolised as thier cattle, thus these were older people but tame enough to be assimilated by the end of the tale. This assimilation is symbolised as a sacrifice to Hera, the Gods accepted this sacrifice unlike many attempted in other tasks.
Geryon is a play of the Greek word Geryon or old one, old man. It may also be connected to the name George that means farmer in Greek. The three heads represent the three people who ruled the cows or cattle. Notice this is the second time cattle are mentioned and the second time they represent a people. These people were said to have lived on the western side of the Mediterranean: Hesperides. Many have equated this name to Iberia and Spain; in particular the island of Tartessos. Geryon had a two headed dog named Orthrus. The dog represents the two species of dogs bread on the island by the people of Geryon. The dogs were faithful to the population of the island and were used as guard and farm dogs. Hercules and the Greeks he represented had to fight their way through the dogs. Eurytion was the name of the guards or people whose job it was to guard the peoples of the island. After dispatching them like the dog with an olive branch or club Hercules fought the leaders of the island and wounded their authority with the same poison of the hydra. This duel image represents conquering the authority of the island and undermining them with ideas that led to Hercules and the Greeks ascent to authority over the people represented by the cattle. In some tales as Hercules entered the Libyan Desert he was frustrated and shot an arrow at the sun and Helios rewarded this will a golden cup that could sail the seas from west to east. This story represents that by the time of this task the Greeks were sailing around the world west to east. This coincides with eth location of the Amazon and Atlantians in the Americas and portrays the far reach of the Greeks in this time. The arrow might also represent space technology used top travel into space and like Udan of Siberian the arrows represent rockets. The cup both represents higher technologies and the reach of the Greeks on earth. The cup was said to travel east to west on the globe in one night, though this image might represent that Greeks were everywhere and the sun did not set on them. Once killed Hercules tried bringing the cattle back to Greece and king Eurystheus. Hera was said to have sent a gad fly to annoy the cattle and scatter them. Socrates uses the gad fly to represent someone with ideas that wake you up and cause you to change your ideas and get moving from the stand one had. In the same where Hera’s gadfly caused the people represented by the cattle to scatter and it took one year for Hercules to reorganise them into one people. The waters of the Mediterranean began to rise or a flood in the region occurs. I suspect the former and it was said Hera sent this flood. So Hercules used stones to cross the waters and rivers to return the cattle to Greece. Once in Greece king Eurystheus sacrificed the cattle to Hera, meaning these people were assimilated into the Greeks.This story is reminiscent of the biblical exudes story. The peoples Hercules freed from the authority figured represented by Geryon were herded towards Greece and this took a long time as Moses well understood: it takes a long time to walk many people as a group a short distance. The waters rose making walking some watery areas had so stones were pilled up to bridge the waters and allow the group to walk across; Alexander the great used this strategy to bridge the island Tyr top the mainland and it has since been connected to the land. Once in Greece the people represented by the cattle assimilated and became part of Greek culture.
In some renditions of this tale like the roman some of the people were stolen or wondered off become their own people, like a group led by Cacus. In some tales Hercules fights Cacus to get the cattle back, in some tales he does not get them back.
I will finish off the last two tasks later this week and hopefully everything concerning Hercules
