Who are your favorite archetypal lovers? Anonymous Sun Dec 23 16:22:36 2018 No.12275241 [Reply] [Original]

Adam and Eve. Odysseus and Penelope. Paris and Helen. Orpheus and Eurydice. Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra. Hadrian and Antinous. Jesus and Magdalene. Tristan and Isolde. Aberlard and Heloise. Dante and Beatrice. Petrarch and Laura. (These last two are not completely lovers, but also valid). Romeo and Juliet. Quixote and Dulcinea. Faust and Gretchen. Napoleon and Josephine. Washington and Lincoln. Newton, Descartes and Leibniz 3-way. Humbert and Lolita. Percey and Mary Shelley. Pierre and Marie Curie. Cobain and Courtney. Molly and Sam. Jack and Sally. Ennis and Jack. Joaquin Phoenix and Gentoo...

This is very /lit/ but there are also films and maybe someone could defend videogames.

This is not /his/. Most of the couples in the original post are from fiction. And you mention Dan Brown. Nikos Kazantzakis was publishing The Last Temptation even before Dan Brown was born. But that doesn't matter, as you say, this ideas come from the Gnostic texts not considered as gospels by the Church. If you wouldn't stopped there you could have seen that not only actual couples were taken into account. As you can clearly read, it was included Dante and Beatrice >>12278544
but Dante was married with Gemma, so why Beatrice? Because in his poetry (if you read the Divine Comedy) Beatrice was praised in an impressive way as a product of a pure, ideal and powerful love. And Dante gives her such prominence in such a masterpiece of literature, having only seen Beatrice once in her childhood or two, or even having invented her completely. With Dante proclaiming that in the book he had said of her "what no man has ever said of a woman".

Beatrice, from latin Beatrix, means "bringer of joy", and maybe Dante himself chose this name to mean "the blessed one" for her to symbolize faith and to turn her into a heavenly guide and protector. Because at the end he want us to accept the fervent harmony and deep peace of The Heaven. And this may be like the way Jesus loved humanity, or like when you mention Magdalene, to show the way she loved Him unidirectionally, the way any woman could love the savior, because the most profound joy a bride can have is when her husband is The Lord and makes her heart devoted to religion and away from the snake and his sins.

I understand you, that with all the people in all the stories ever told, all the kings and prophets and men of God, all of them were just human beings like you and me or maybe with the grace of God or the Holy Spirit, but Jesus no, he was not simply an human being, he was the Son of God, The Lord. I don't know and perhaps no academic can ever know what Jesus experienced or felt as a divine being but temporarily taking the form of the flesh. And i undestand that this vision of Jesus getting off the cross and having sons is unacceptable. Dan Brown only focus on this and is very profitable, but Nikos more than this wished to focus in asking how was that hard battle between the flesh and the spirit, in what could had been to carry that cross of having to save of the humanity, of having to set the new covenant of God with man. Asking himself if that young man ever felt afraid, if ever felt too weak for accomplish his mission, if he ever was close to regret everything and fail to his father. But this literary exploration is also discounted, is false, is a pseudo-gospel (false pseud is double negation) rejected by the modern Church too. I don't know if you consider The Illiad as and idiotic myth too, but clearly is a pagan tale and you didn't stop reading right there. Well, i don't know if i understand love, let alone of what can i know of your undestanding of what love is.

Tiberius and Vipsania

In order for Augustus to produce an heir, he forced Livia's son Tiberius, who would become the next emperor of Rome, to divorce his wife Vipsania in order to marry Julia, Augustus' daughter. From SPQR, "One one occasion after their divorce Tiberius is said to have caught sight of Vipsania by chance, and it brought tears to his eyes; his minders made sure that he never saw her again."

Neither Jesus nor his apostles said anything about any text having authority over an other, or any authority in general. Leas of all on the criteria on which the Canon was compiled. In fact, contempt for History and anality is a common denominator of the Canon, the Apocrypha, the Nag Hammadi, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and everything in between.
