Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, for 62 years, Sir James G.
Frazer devoted his life to research. This volume was first

Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso, 43 BCE-17 CE), born at Sulmo, studied
rhetoric and law at Rome. Later he did considerable public service
there, and otherwise devoted himself to poetry and to society.
Famous at first, he offended the emperor Augustus by his "Ars
Amatoria," and was banished because of this work and some other
reason unknown to us, and dwelt in the cold and primitive town of
Tomis on the Black Sea. He continued writing poetry, a kindly man,
leading a temperate life. He died in exile.
Ovid's main surviving works are the "Metamorphoses," a source of
inspiration to artists and poets including Chaucer and Shakespeare;
the "Fasti," a poetic treatment of the Roman year of which Ovid
finished only half; the "Amores," love poems; the "Ars Amatoria,"
not moral but clever and in parts beautiful; "Heroides," fictitious
love letters by legendary women to absent husbands; and the dismal
works written in exile: the "Tristia," appeals to persons including
his wife and also the emperor; and similar "Epistulae ex Ponto."
Poetry came naturally to Ovid, who at his best is lively, graphic
and lucid.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Ovid is in six
volumes.

What Can We Really Believe About Scripture? BIBLICAL STORIES -
TRUTH? OR FICTION? Here is Unequivocal Proof That "Noah's Flood"
Actually Occurred and That The Fall of the Tower of Babel Did Cause
Chaos, Mass Hysteria and the Confusion of Multiple Tongues to
Prevail Among Humankind. Hundreds of Biblical accounts accepted as
gospel by "true believers" have come under continued attack by the
secular community to the point where it is difficult to sort out
the factual nature of God's works. One researcher, James George
Frazer, spent a good part of his life scoffing at the "Christian
World" only to accumulate records from all over the planet which
showed the universality of Creation, the Great Flood, and Man's
Fall from Grace, as well as the collapse of the Tower of Babel.
GLOBAL ACCOUNTS OF A 'GREAT FLOOD' PREVAIL In a lengthy
presentation Frazer presents astounding evidence that a global
flood has left the strongest single historical imprint upon all of
humanity, no matter where on the globe folks had later moved to and
settled. Skeptics have proclaimed that the Flood of Noah was merely
"regional in scope," even though the Bible makes it clear: (Genesis
7:19b) ..".all the high hills that (were) under the whole heaven,
were covered." In fact, "amongst 120 different tribes in North and
South and Central America, not one tribe exists that has not
related distinct or vague traditions of such a calamity, in which
one, or three, or eight persons were saved above the waters..."
Furthermore, here are many great tales, including: The Hebrew Story
of the Flood; Ancient Great Stories of the Rising Tide of Doom;
Supposed Persian Stories; Stories of a Great Flood in Eastern Asia;
Stories From Australia, New Guinea, Melanesia, Polynesia and all of
the Americas. Believe it or not the flood really occurred and it
covered the globe EXPLORE THE CREATION OF MAN Do the various
stories told by many cultures vary or do they agree at all on the
creation? Were humans molded out of red clay? What is the truth
about the creation of woman out of man's rib? THE TOWER OF BABEL
Here are the "stories" told by many societies, including the
Cholula in Mexico; the Toltecs, the origin of the diversity of
tongues in Greece, Africa, Assam, Australia and America. There are
even Jewish legends as to the Tower of Babel. Theories are many as
to the primitive language of humankind and several experimental
attempts have been made to determine if there is one source for
primitive language. Far from being omitted are other "myths and
legends" of Biblical proportions including the Mark of Cain, fear
of ghosts of the murdered, a motive for executing murderers, bodily
marks to protect people against ghosts of the slain. There is also
discussion of the serpent in the Garden and the deception of woman
by the serpent and the immortality of serpents and the story of the
origin of death. ORDER NOW: If you are a student of the Bible or
wish to know the links between the many great Scriptural stories
that have been handed down by all means send for THE GREAT FLOOD
AND OTHER MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. This volume is a
MUST READ and is over 230 large size, 8x11, pages.
