I was having a conversation with an associate of mine who is well versed in ancient history.
I was having a conversation with an associate of mine who is well versed in ancient history. I mentioned to her one of the current puzzles I have been attempting to disentangle... Tycho's cryptic clue: Remember the Ruin of Scopas.

Scopadae and Aleudae; two most powerful leading families in ancient greek. Were they rival clans like Jahan's and Azmati's? Are we on the trail of these two bloodlines?
ReplyDeleteYik Sheng Lee a monastery like Mes Aynak, very intriguing. Great find btw!
ReplyDeleteSimonides embellished his ode with so many references to the twins Castor and Pollux (heroic archetypes of the boxer) that Scopas told him to collect half the commissioned fee from them—he would only pay the other half.[19] Simonides however ended up getting much more from the mythical twins than just a fee: he owed them his very life (see Miraculous escapes). According to this story he was called out of the feast hall to see two visitors who had arrived and were asking for him – presumably Castor and Pollux. As soon as he left the hall, it collapsed, killing everyone within. These events were said to have inspired him to develop a system of mnemonics based on images and places called the method of loci. The method of loci is one component of the Art of memory. from link below

While looking up the tale you referred to I found this piece of information of a man named Simonides. He seemed to be a poet so a creator of sorts, much like Tycho. I wonder if he too may have been a Tecthulhu... Digging further and into the Method of Loci he developed afterwards I wonder if it is like a mind palace in ways...
I do find it rather interesting as well that if you follow the links on this wikki that art of memory leads you to a page with it's main art piece showing similarities to a glyph grid...
I hope all this information may help you
Simonides invented some new Greek letters (Ο, Ξ·, ΞΎ, Ο). At least the first three are hidden on Tycho's new poster.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting. I would love to see more information on this connection. But how did Tycho know?
ReplyDeleteMichelle Smith maybe Simonides, the poet present the night of Scopas death, was in fact Tycho or a being like Tycho
ReplyDeleteIshira Tsubasa That is a good theory. You may be right!
ReplyDeleteMartin Brenner, can I ask you for the bibliography on your topic (the invention of the letters of the Greek alphabet by Simonide)?
ReplyDeleteIn my old Greek studies I had never heard of it.
About the topic,
personally, after reading the story of the death of Scopas, I think as much as possible - even in the light of the conversations between Tycho C. and Misty Hannah - that Simonide of Ceo, in fact, was Tycho himself, or one of the artists "possessed" by Tycho over time.
The ability to see beyond things, to remember and to see together past and future to help in the present.
Regarding the figure of the "Dioscuri", Castor & Pollux, it is possible that they are nothing other than referring to the presence of the exogenous entities, waiting for and assisting the brink of our plan of existence.
Where Simonide praised her, putting in her work referring to their existence and presence, they assisted, helped, rescued.
Where, however, Scopa got involved with them, they did nothing to prevent his death.
Scopa's Ruin, then, could be nothing more than a warning not to denigrate, minimizing, the chances that exogenous entities have to do things in our world.

ReplyDeleteI fly friday home to Greece. My hometown is Kalambaka (Meteora Monastir). Write me If you have a spacial Mission for me... πππππ
Panagiotis Mokas Nothing better than an agent on the field. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDaeniem Loidlan The Wikipedia article on Simonides refers to David A. Campbell, Greek Lyric Poetry, Bristol Classical Press (1982), pages 380-81. I'm pretty sure there are papers and I have found at least one that discuss the validity of this theory. In the context of the Niantic Investigation, I have to assume that Tycho added these letters consciously or unconsciously to the poster, maybe because Simonides is part of his personality or at least as a hint complementing the phrase "Remember the Ruin of Scopas".
ReplyDeleteShared some research on this point to Essex. plus.google.com - Aaron P (m3taphor) - Google+
ReplyDeleteMartin Brenner thank you very much for the information. Provided reading.
ReplyDeleteIt's really something I did not know, not even a chance.
In the context of Tycho's Visions, the greek letters left to me by the Visionary near the map of San Diego had also come to my mind.
