Although, from Augustine s brief and second hand account, we can know very little of his life or works, he was cited as an authoritative astronomical observer from antiquity. According to Augustine s City of God book De Civitate Dei contra Paganos , Marcus Terentius Varro Varro 116 BC 27 BC the Ancient Rome Roman scholar and writer, cited Adrastus and Dion as authorities for the dating of an astronomical phenomena involving Venus , describing them as mathematici nobiles distinuguished astronomers, or possibly astrologers .

  1. King of Athens

    Before the Athenian democracy , the tyrant s, and the Archon s, the city state of Athens was ruled by monarch kings . Most of these are probably mythology myth ical or only semi historical. This list is based on that given by the fourth century CE historian and Christian bishop , Eusebius of Caesarea . Earliest kings These two kings were supposed to have ruled before the flood of the Deucalion myth. Periphas Ogyges King of Agea, not Athens Actaeus Erechthids, or Cecropidae Cecrops was considered the first true king of Athens, although he was a mythical half man half serpent. The dates for the following kings were conjectured centuries later, by historians of the Hellenistic era who tried to backdate events by cross referencing ancient sources such as the Parian Chronicle .

    Refimprove date December 2009 Greek myth The dynastic history of Ancient Thebes Boeotia Thebes in Greek mythology is crowded with a bewildering number of kings between the city s new foundation by Cadmus and the Trojan War see Ogyges . This suggests several competing traditions, which mythographers were forced to reconcile. ref name hard2004 Hard, Robin Rose, Herbert Jennings 2004 . The mythical history of Thebes. In. The Routledge handbook of Greek mythology , pp. 294 ff. Psychology Press, ISBN 9780415186360 ref The rulers The first king of Thebes was Cadmus, after whom the city was originally called Cadmeia. It only became known as Thebes during the reign of Amphion and Zethus , after the latter s wife Thebe . The first kings of Boeotia before Cadmus and the flood of Deucalion were Calydnus and Ogyges Ogygos . When Cadmus died, his son Polydorus was still a minor and hence Pentheus , a son of Cadmus daughter Agaue and one of the Spartoi , became king. He met a tragic end after falling foul of the young god Dionysus . Polydorus succeeded his nephew but only reigned for a short while. At his death, the kingdom was entrusted to his father in law, Nycteus , who acted as guardian for the young Labdacus, the son of Polydorus and Nycteis. During the regency of Nycteus, Thebes Cadmea made war against Epopeus , the king of Sicyon , who had abducted Nycteus daughter, Antiope mother of Amphion Antiope . However, an alternate account says that Antiope fled Thebes to evade her father s wrath, and sought refuge with King Epopeus after finding herself pregnant by the god Zeus . Nycteus and the Thebans were defeated, and Nycteus himself died of his battle wounds. He was succeeded as ruler of Thebes by his brother, Lycus . Labdacus eventually became king.

  1. Epistemic theory of miracles

    The epistemic theory of miracles is the name given by the philosopher William Vallicella to the theory of Miracle miraculous events given by St. Augustine and Baruch Spinoza . According to the theory, there are no events contrary to nature that is no transgressions , in David Hume Hume s sense, of the laws of nature . An event is a miracle only in the sense that it does not agree with our understanding of nature, or fit our picture of nature, or that it thwarts our expectations as to how the world should behave. According to a perfect scientific understanding there would be no miracles at all. The name of the theory is derived from the Ancient Greek word lang grc , episteme , meaning well founded knowledge . Augustine s account Image Nazareth Church Crusaders1.jpg right thumb 300px Jesus exploiting surface tension In City of God book The City of God , Book XXI, Chapter 8, Augustine quotes Marcus Varro , Of the Race of the Roman People There occurred a remarkable celestial Glossary of ancient Roman religion portentum portent for Castor of Rhodes Castor records that, in the brilliant star Venus, called Vesperugo by Plautus , and the lovely Hesperus by Homer , there occurred so strange a prodigy, that it changed its colour, size, form, course, which never appeared before nor since. Adrastus of Cyzicus , and Dion of Naples , famous mathematicians, said that this occurred in the reign of Ogyges . So great an author as Varro would certainly not have called this a portent had it not seemed to be contrary to nature. For we say that all portents are contrary to nature but they are not so. For how is that contrary to nature which happens by the will of God, since the will of so mighty a Creator is certainly the nature of each created thing? A portent, therefore, happens not contrary to nature, but contrary to what we know as nature. ref Modern Library, p. 776, tr. Dods, emphasis added ref .
