Explanation
of various calendars
Elagabalus was murdered this
day in Rome in CMLXXV A.V.C. (222 AD). He was 19. His body was thrown into
the Tiber.
The Greeks celebrated the Festival of Hercules
on this day. Called Heracles by the Greeks, he was known as the Son of God
to all. So great was the people's love for this man that many fantastic tales
were credited to his name. According to Greek legend he was born of God and
an earthly virgin mother from an act of sex that lasted three days. He was
known as the Healer and raised two people from the dead in his lifetime, one
man and one woman. He once descended into Hell for three days. According to
legend he suffered an excruciatingly painful, and most unfair, death at the
hands of his enemies, notably the court of the powerful King of Thebes. After
his death he re-appeared to show his closest friends that he was still alive
and then ascended bodily into heaven. His friends and followers, known as
the Heracleidae, were persecuted after his death.
