link2-gutenberg – Anabasis – by, Xenophon. – Translation by H. G. Dakyns –
Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a pupil of Socrates. He marched with the Spartans, and was exiled from Athens. Sparta gave him land and property in Scillus, where he lived for many years before having to move once more, to settle in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C.
*******
The Anabasis recounts Xenophon’s account of the march into Persia to support Cyrus, who sought Greek help in his attempt to seize the throne from Artaxerxes, as well as the Greeks’ subsequent return, in which Xenophon played a leading role. These events took place between 401 B.C. and March 399 B.C

*** ALEXANDER THE GREAT ***
link2-gutenberg – ALEXANDER THE GREAT – by JACOB ABBOTT – Copyright, 1876, by Jacob Abbott.
link2source – colorado DOT edu — classics — Alexander and Bucephalus – Alexander the Great was the king of Macedon from 336 until his death in 323 B.C.E. He inherited the kingdom from his father, Philip II of Macedon, and his successful military campaigns expanded the Greek world all the way to northwestern India. – 6-19-18: By, Summer Trentin, Debby Sneed
The secret of Alexander’s success was his character. He was finely formed in person, and very prepossessing in his manners. He was active, athletic, and full of ardor and enthusiasm in all that he did. At the same time, he was calm, collected, and considerate in emergencies requiring caution, and thoughtful and far-seeing in respect to the bearings and consequences of his acts.
His native country was on the confines of Europe and Asia. Now Europe and Asia were, in those days, as now, marked and distinguished by two vast masses of social and civilized life, widely dissimilar from each other. The Asiatic side was occupied by the Persians, the Medes, and the Assyrians. The European side by the Greeks and Romans.
They were separated by the Hellespont, the Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean, as the map shows. These waters formed a natural barrier that kept the two races apart. As a result, the races developed into two large, distinct, and very different groups, and naturally became rivals and enemies.
***
NOTE: the Hellespont, the Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean:
– The Hellespont was the narrow strait Alexander crossed in 334 BC when he began his invasion of the Persian Empire; it connected the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara and marked the traditional boundary between Europe and Asia. In Alexander’s history, it mattered both as a strategic crossing and as a symbolic passage into Asia.
***
NOTE: In broad historical terms, “Asiatic” and European civilization were often contrasted as two large cultural worlds rather than as fixed, uniform blocs. European civilization is commonly associated with the Greek and Roman tradition, later shaped by Christianity, while Asiatic civilization in older historical writing is often associated with the Persian, Median, and Assyrian world.
***
Alexander entered upon his career with great ardor, and the position in which he was placed gave him the opportunity to act in it with prodigious effect. And as it turns out: his native country was on the confines of Europe and Asia.
***
Now Europe and Asia were, in those days, as now, marked and distinguished by two vast masses of social and civilized life, widely dissimilar from each other. The Asiatic side was occupied by the Persians, the Medes, and the Assyrians. The European side by the Greeks and Romans.

link2source – gutenberg DOT org – cache – epub – 14993 – pg14993 – images DOT html – by Daniel G. Brinton 1890 — Rig Veda Americanus — Rig Veda Americanus is a 19th-century scholarly book by Daniel G. Brinton presenting sacred Nahuatl songs of the ancient Mexicans, with a gloss in Nahuatl and Brinton’s English translations and notes. The title means, roughly, “the American Rig Veda,” because Brinton was comparing these hymns to the ancient Indian Rig Veda as a venerable body of sacred poetry.
*** Rig Veda ***
link2source – This Sukta is the 129th hymn of Mandala 10, a book of 191 hymns known as The Philosophical Mandala. Its 7 verses are addressed chiefly to Creation, and are given here in Devanagari, IAST transliteration and Griffith’s English rendering. By tradition the hymns of this Mandala belong to many seers, and the Mandala is generally regarded as the latest in composition. Rig Veda 10.129 is the Nasadiya Sukta, the ‘Hymn of Creation’. It questions the origin of existence itself and ends in celebrated doubt about whether even the highest overseer truly knows how creation arose.
Rig Veda 10.129 – Creation – The text is preserved here in three registers: the Devanagari Sanskrit of the Samhita, a scholarly IAST romanisation, and Ralph T. H. Griffith’s 1896 English translation. Where our editors have published a verse-by-verse commentary it appears beneath the relevant Rik below, adding philological and contextual reading beyond the base translation.

Question: Is there an ‘original thought’ that created the universe according to some Eastern Mythology?
Answer: Yes — some Eastern traditions describe the universe as arising from an original thought, mind, or word-like creative principle, though the details vary a lot by tradition. In Indian tradition especially, a famous passage in the Rigveda (10.129) is often read as suggesting creation through a primordial mental or speculative principle rather than a fully personified god.

FOLLOW-UP: In the context of religious cosmogony, Chaos (Ancient Greek: χάος, romanized: kháos) refers to the division of reality outside or in contrast to the ordered cosmos. As such it refers to a state, place, or time beyond the known, familiar, and reliable world, often said to be inhabited by strange, ominous, or demonic beings. – link2source –
—
Greek mythology: In Hesiod, Chaos is primordial, not usually a god in the personal sense; it is the first thing to exist, a void or chasm from which other beings arise.
—
Homer does not present Chaos in the same explicit cosmogonic way as Hesiod’s Theogony. “In Hesiod, Chaos is the primordial void that comes first in creation.” – link2source –

For me, the most interesting things about science fiction are not just imagining how it could happen, but also all the implicit alibis, still left unstated, growing stronger as the pages are turned; It’s the weakening of the case against the author. I fill in the details left unstated, as I read the story; for that’s the challenge. That takes the most time, the most energy (not to mention enthusiasm). Inevitably, as the chapters come to a close, the author gets off scot-free. Much sci-fi is mere confession; confession told with technological flare. And always there’s the dystopian backdrop, however shameless, as flimsy afterthought. In the final analysis, the details of the crime(s) are the context, with ‘context’ being the meat of the story. And don’t forget wild supposition, the icing on the cake. – JL (wild supposition, catalogue of crimes, icing for the cake.)
