The Birth of Aphrodite and the Death of the West
The Birth of Aphrodite And The Decline of The West
The Birth of Aphrodite And The Decline of The West – by James Wm. Pandeli
“Whether our age has reached a higher point of civilization than any preceding one, is, of course, a matter of very great doubt, but there is no doubt that it makes louder claims to superiority in this respect than any previous period. Such pretensions are generally the consequence of ignorance of other times and their productions. It is certainly a circumstance worthy of some consideration, that persons whose talents and acquirements have enabled them to take wide and penetrating views of the past and present, have shown the least disposition to echo the cry of the march of intellect.”
‘Civilization’, Enc. Americana, 1829-31, Page225.
I. Introduction
It has been said that the history was written by the winners. The implication is that the successful in any endeavor whether war or otherwise, wrote the history to satisfy either their point of view or their interests. Another view might be that history was written by the survivors, perhaps implying that sometimes a more accurate attempt may result. Finally the third view is that history was written by the scholars who have the written material from the ancient past to analyze and proceed with their thoughts. Illyr-Albania has not benefited from any view. First, no written materials have been left from the past. Second, the Illyr-Albanians were people who it was thought had not survived the ages. And third, except for the conquests of the Illyr-Albanian Alexander the Great of Emathia, the Greatland, (Illyr-Albanian translation of the original name of Macedonia) they had not been the winners having been conquered by the Romans more than 2000 years ago, by the Ottomans c.1500, and finally the communists resulting in the almost complete dilusion of spirit. The difficulties at any attempt at the histories of the Illyr-Albanian World should be understood in view of these obstacles. But happily Illyr-Albania did survive and now the purpose of this attempt is to understand Her lessons: to appreciate a ‘new light’ from the old world, to try to understand the concept ‘master’s of publicity’ – in the context not only of the history but maybe even in the context of today’s politics – and perhaps begin to comprehend or at least speculate about a correlation between a comparison of the birth of the Hellenic Aphrodite and the birth of the Illyr-Albanian ‘Aferdite’ with the decline of the West and Western Man/Woman.
The comparison of the birth of the Hellenic Aphrodite and the birth of the Illyr-Albanian ‘Afterdite’ might suggest that the decline of the West is due to the failure of Western Man/Woman to spiritually mature in His/Her own right before the influence of the Hellenic (Greek) Civilization; then because of its failure to bring positive substance to the spiritual life, the subsequent influence of the Semitic peoples and their productions and disruptions. By the time of the Roman Empire and its perversions, instabilities and disruptions in the declining years, Western Man was doomed by His immaturities as it related to his perceptions of the world and the chaotic failings of the existing spiritual philosophies. Sad in many ways because His material productions and scientific achievements in what we call the modern age have surpassed all other peoples on the earth combined yet He remains under the spell of the ‘master’s of publicity’ – whoever or whatever that may be. It may not be something that can be explain, but rather sensed. Perhaps our world today is showing signs that the explanations may come sooner than later and then only if people are willing to exhibit a ‘goodness of human spirit’ despite the flaws in our evolution – that is discuss and analyze truths as it relates to failures without taking offense – and evolve from there.
We have to remember that the Illyr-Albanian presence in the Balkans pre-dates the Hellenic presence and it should be generally agreed that the foundation of the early Hellenic presence owed much to the Illyr-Albanian World, though many of the Hellenic understandings were somewhat distorted and even perverted. The name ‘Parthenoun’, ‘P arthen Oun’, is more probably translated in Illyr-Albanian as ‘from where I come’ (the pronoun ‘I’ a reference to God), perhaps an indication that the Illyr-Albanian World had been an influence that had remained unrecorded except for some names and words that were used by the Hellenes. The Hellenic forced meaning of the ‘Parthenoun’ translates to ‘the Virgins’.
II. The Birth of Aphrodite
The oldest account in Greek Literature of the ‘foam-born goddess’ Aphrodite, comes to us from Hesiod’s ‘Theogony’ c.700 B.C. (Genesis of the Gods) line187. In Greek, ‘aphro’ is supposed to translate to ‘foam’. Aphrodite was considered the daughter of Ouranos, the Heaven God. Hesiod’s story involved the act whereby Kronus cut off the genitals of his father, Ouranos, and threw them into the sea.
“And so soon as he had cut off the members with flint and cast them from the land into the surging sea, they were swept away over the main a long time: and a white foam spread around them from the immortal flesh, and in it there grew a maiden. First she drew near holy Cythera, from there, afterwards, she came to sea-girt Cyprus, and came forth an awful lovely goddess, and grass grew up about her beneath her shapely feet. Her gods and men call Aphrodite, and the foam-born goddess and rich-crowned Cytherea because she grew amid the foam, and Cytherea because she reached Cythera, and Cyprogenes because she was born in billowy Cyprus, and Philommedes because she sprang from the members. And with her went Eros, and comely Desire followed her at her birth at the first and as she went into the assembly of the gods. This honour she has from the beginning, and this is the portion allotted to her amongst men and undying gods, – The whisperings of maidens and smiles and deceits with sweet delight and love and graciousness.” (Hesiod, lines 187-207)
That is the first written story of the goddess of love and beauty as presented by the Hellenic (Greek) Civilization to the Western World and a part of what is referred to as the ‘classics’.
III. The Birth of The Illyr-Albanian ‘Aferdite’
The Illyr-Albanian story can be told based on “the faith of reason” and on names and words of the Illyr-Albanian World.
The Illyr-Albanian phrase ‘near day’ is ‘afer dite’; the phrase ‘nearly day’ is ‘afro dite. ‘Aferdite’ in Illyr-Albanian is ‘dawn’.
Imagine, if you will, the sky appearing to fall to earth when viewed in the distance. ‘Ou Ra’ (from the name Ouranos) in Illyr-Albanian is ‘I fall’ or ‘I fell’ – ‘Ou’ being the pronoun reference to the first God as the result of the re-enactment of religious stories in the first person by the early people (see essay ‘Illyr-Albania: The Mother Earth by this writer). Imagine, in the stories of the early people, that this took place over the Shkumbe River. In Illyr-Albanian this name translates to ‘Foam’ River, ‘shku mbe’ – ‘go on or upon’. Imagine water that goes over rocks or pebbles making a foam-like appearance. The ancient name of the River is Genusus (quite possibly a dual reference to the River, one representing the natural occurrence, the other name representing the wedding of Heaven and Earth). In Illyr-Albanian ‘ge nuse’ translates to ‘Earth as a bride’, the bride of Heaven. From this Union, the Dawn, Aferdite is born. As you look to the East, where the sky appears to touch the Earth in the distance, the sun rises – this perception probably influenced the stories by the early people who knew the names and words originally in the context of only their Illyr-Albanian World.
Elbasan is a city located by this River. The ancient name of the city is ‘Skampa’. In Illyr-Albanian ‘S kam pa’ is ‘I did not see’ or ‘I could not see’. Can one imagine why? All the world was in darkness. The first day of the ‘beginning of the world’ had not yet been born. The marriage of Heaven and Earth had not yet taken place. The stories of the early people had not yet turned into substance. The name representing the place of darkness, Skampa, had not yet evolved. We might guess that this is the truer story of the birth of what we have come to know in the Western World as Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty.
(The versions of the birth of Aphrodite and Aferdite have been taken from the book by this writer ‘Oh Albania, My Poor Albania’; l980; pages 28-31, as has the following):
The intelligible forms of ancient poets
The fair humanities of old religions,
The power, the Beauty, and the Majesty
That had their haunts in dale or piny mountain,
Or forest, by slow stream, or pebbly spring,
Or chasms and watery depths; all these have vanished;
They live no longer in the faith of reason;
But still the heart does need a language; still
Doth the old instinct bring Back the old names;
Spirits or gods that used to share this earth
With man as with their friend; and at this day
‘Tis Zeus who brings whate’er is great,
And Aphrodite (Aferdite?) who brings every thing that’s fair.”
(Bulfinch,T., ‘Age of Fable’, p.4,quoting Coleridge’s ‘The Piccolomini’.)
IV. Master’s of Publicity
Let us wonder who perpetuates the histories written by the winners, by the survivors and/or the histories based on the civilizations that left writings and then interpreted by the so-called scholars. Let us wonder why the perverted and difficult to comprehend seem to be the norm and the versions from the Illyr-Albanian World, once deciphered and from which to make sense, receive little notice.
Twenty-six years have passed since the implications of the Genusus River (‘Earth as a bride’) have been renewed and still Western Man/Woman does not seem to appreciate the concept ‘the holy land’ of the West. Imagine, the Genusus River, the ‘archeological find’ of the centuries and still silence in the wealthy, educated societies of the Western World. Who or what is this ‘master’s of publicity’ that keep the darkness around us and why?
The epitaph for the people of this age will read:
“They slept through the darkness. Sadly, they slept through the daylight as well.
Now, for all eternity they can continue their great sleep,
With their delusions, their perversions, their self indulgence and the
Chaotic world, in their repose, they left behind and for us to weep.”
When the phrase “This day and age” is heard, the implication being that we have reached a higher point of civilization than the past, one should shutter and wonder who are the winners and who are the survivors that wrote the histories and who has perpetuated this ignorance?
V. “A New Sun and Another Day”
Finally, we might reflect ‘On the Death of Julian’ (The Illyrian Emperor of Rome and nephew of Constantine the Great; 331-363 A.D.).
“If Julian had succeeded in restoring the old religion, the ancient Illyr-Albanian history might have emerged as a part of our general knowledge (and spiritual understandings). Julian, himself an Illyrian, knew the religion as ‘Hellenism’ (and we have to wonder What is meant by this Hellenism?) – its Illyrian roots had already been lost. Whatever hope there might have been for the Illyr-Albanian history not to decline further into obscurity, ended with the death of Julian and the decline of importance of the old religion…” (So our work is made more difficult because we are working without written histories left behind, an immature Western Man/Woman who constantly rises and declines in His/Her civilizations without an appreciation nor even an understanding for their own spiritual worth based on the memories from their ancestors that can be traced to the old Illyr-Albanian World and our failures to find the truer story of that World and seemingly little interest by many to do so.)
“Libanius (philosopher and friend of Julian) is convinced that Julian’s slayer was a Roman Christian, and goes on to say: ‘Those who sought his death were men who lived in habitual transgression of laws…and who were perhaps indignant at the emperor’s attachment to the Gods to whom they were themselves opposed’.”
Julian: “…But I am not here to criticize you, only ask you to keep the peace and never forget that the greatness of our world was the gift of other Gods and a different, more subtle philosophy, reflecting the variety in nature.”
Libanius: “With Julian, the light went, and now nothing remains but to let the darkness come, and hope for a new sun and another day, born of time’s mystery and man’s love of light.
(The above ‘On the Death of Julian’, with quotes and credits included in ‘Oh Albania, My Poor Albania’, 1980, page 77, by this writer.)
When we hear the phrase “Good Morning”, let us hope it will be!
“They live no longer in the faith of reason;
But still the heart does need a language; still
Doth the old instinct bring Back the old names;”

West Side Story Questions
Good monologues and/or songs for a West Side story audition?
The title pretty much covers it. I’m auditioning for Maria in West Side story, and if anyone knows any good monologues and/or songs that I can use (especially ones that show off the skills needed for that role) they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Go for anything sung by Peggy Sawyer from 42nd Street, Polly Browne from The Boyfriend, Clara Johnson from The Light In The Piazza, Cosette from Les Miserables Julie Jordan from Carousel, or Kim from Miss Saigon Tuptim from The King and I also has a good song: “My Lord and Master”. Basically go for legit soprano sort songs rather than belters. And sweet, , vulnerable type female characters fit it too. If you can also show strength, that’ll stand you in good stead, as you’ll then open up the panel’s minds to other roles as well, which is always a good thing.
For a monologue, the above also applies, but there are millions of them. Some good monologues can be found on the NIDA site: http://www.nida.edu.au/Download-Projects-2008/default.aspx, but use your discretion.
anyone know where i can get good free sheet music from musicals to downlaod?
me and a group of friends are doing a fundraiser at 6th form. we are outting on a “night at the musicals” Part of my bit is to get and learn the music. we dont want to waste more money buying music books. is there a good website anyone knows. Some of the songs are from Annie, west side story rent ect.
thanks alot.

West Side Story (Original Soundtrack Recording) $5.99 Leonard Bernstein’s musical update of Romeo and Juliet, with a young Stephen Sondheim’s brilliant lyrics, had already galvanized Broadway with its vivid reinvention as a parable of racial intolerance and generational conflict.

In The Heights (Original Broadway Cast Recording) $13.85 Broadway hasn’t been very good at incorporating various strands of pop and rock over the past 40 years. Most of the shows attempting that draw from contemporary chart sounds have felt awkward, rather than “young.” It’s all the more rewarding, then, that 2008 saw not one but two successful efforts – Passing Strange and In the Heights. The latter, set in New York’s predominantly Dominican neighborh… |

Sideways Stories from Wayside School $2.48 The Wayside School was supposed to be one story high, with 30 classrooms side by side; instead, it was built sideways, with 30 one-classroom stories. As befits such a strange school, these tales are a bit strange too. In one, Jason is stuck to his seat by a large wad of chewing gum. His teacher tries throwing ice water on him (to chill the gum to brittleness) and turning him upside down. Sh… |
