Ausgangs- und Zielpunkte des Transfers vom Himmel in antiken Mythen

Brit Kärger

Abstract

In the various written sources that are known to us, the sky is named in a variety of ways, generally as heaven or as inner heaven, as the ziggurat of heaven or as ether. However, in many cases where beings or objects emanate from the heavenly sphere, their point of departure is implied by the context rather than stated explicitly. Their destination is usually the earth. Where more specific information is given, something quite fundamental becomes evident: these destination places are not random locations (or persons); they typically play a central role in their respective cultures.
