(also spelled Euemeros or Evemerus)
Ancient Greek: Εὐήμερος Euhēmeros, “happy / prosperous”
late 4th century BC
.
euhemerus…
he’s not much like us…
so scurrilous…
so fundamentally squirrely…
‘mercurial…’
‘curiousity kills…’
she wears her hair in curls
.
(‘euhemerus’ was a greek ‘mythographer’ at the court of ‘cassander’, the king of ‘macedon’)
.
(Euhemerus’ birthplace is disputed, with Messina in Sicily as the most probable location, while others champion Chios or Tegea)
The philosophy attributed to and named for Euhemerus, (‘euhemerism’) holds that many mythological tales can be attributed to historical persons and events, the accounts of which have become altered and exaggerated over time.
Euhemerus’s work combined elements of fiction and political utopianism.
(in the ‘ancient world’ he was considered an ‘atheist’)
.
(early christian writers – such as ‘lactantius’ – used euhemerus’s belief that the ‘ancient gods’ were originally ‘human’ to confirm their ‘inferiority’ to the ‘christian god’)
