This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... VII.--THE ORPHIC PANTHEON. Unaging Time. Orpheus designated the Supreme Cause, although it is in reality ineffable, Chronus (Time). This Time, and with it other ineffable Powers, was prior to Heaven, Uranus (Procl. in CraL, p. 71. Boiss.). The name Chronus closely resembles the name Cronus (Saturn), remarks Proclus (loc. cit., p. 64) suggestively; and in the same passage he says that " ' God-inspired' words Oracles characterize this divinity Cronus as Once Beyond." This may mean that Chronus is ideal Unending Duration, and Cronus Time manifested; though this leaves unexplained the strange term "Once Beyond," which is found in the Chaldsean system. The same statements are found elsewhere in Proclus' works (Tim., i. 86; Theol., i. 28, 68; Parm., vii. 230). And Philo (Quod Mund. Incorr., p. 952, b.) says: "There was once a Time when Cosmos L was not." This is called "Unborn Time, The iEon," by Timseus of Locris (p. 97). It is the "First One, the Supersubstantial, the Ineffable Principle." It may be compared to the Zeryan of the Avesta, the En Suph and Hidden of the Hidden of the Kabalah, the Bythos of the Gnostics, the Unknown Darkness of the Egyptians, and the Parabrahman of the Vedantins. Iether, Chaos And Night. Next come iEther and Chaos, Spirit-Matter, the Bound (irepas) and Infinity (dbmpio) of Plato (Proc., Tim., ii. 117), the Purusha-Prakriti of the Sankhya. Orpheus calls this-.Ether the Mighty Whirlpool--mXwpiov xp-a-(Simplicius, Ausc., iv. 123); called Magna Vorago by Syrianus Metaph., ii. 33. a). And Proclus (Tim., ii. 117), speaking of Chaos, says: "The last Infinity, by which also Matter (vXrj) is circumscribed--is the Container, the field and plane of ideas. About her is 'neither limit, nor foundation, nor seat, but excessive...
