Gods

• god / goddess / Theos (θεός) - a mortal human "born in the purple"
  • the purple born being Gods. That’s how it’s used in Ancient Greek text and Islam with the Imams, and Christianity with the Western catholic church with the Pope as the Vicar of God. The Imam as the living embodiment of God as well. The one sitting in what they call “occultation” and that you may only get to the Kingdom of God if you meet the LIVING Imam at the time. Notice you have to meet the LIVING Imam, because he is the Alpha to Omega. That’s why it’s funny when Christians think Jesus is coming back, the same with Muslims thinking their Imam is coming back, when in reality, you have to be with the Christ at the time, in order to be properly put into the death state to be resurrected. Literally no Christians or Muslims understand this.
  • Where did the gods/goddesses come from? "The Real" Possibilities:
    • Pharmaka induced soul/psyche based reality alone. these beings exist as having been exerienced by the minds after experiencing them in pharmaka induced liminal states... Later written about by mythicists.,
    • Gods and Kurious are humans, just like Royals, born in the purple (ammon even says Kurios is a lord of the realm in Genesis, and sure seems to be in human form). And later were also "seen" inside of pharmaka-eidolon-induced experiences - AND/OR - puffed up and written about by the mythicists.,
    • Children of Gods were just born in the purple, and labeled as having parents from one of the two above... and like catholic saints, later given the "title" of "god" (theos/θεός), even though there's a real human in the timeline there... Like Heracles later, after his death, he was elevated to the ranks of the gods, here's god is a title given.

Diodorus

There is at least one author (Herodotus) who thought the Gods were royalty, some from Libya. Diodorus is who recounted the stories.

The text is Diodorus Siculus’ Bibliotheca Historica, Book I, where Diodorus records Egyptian tradition that “gods and heroes” ruled in the earliest times.

Specifically: in I.44.1–2 he writes that in Egypt the gods and heroes ruled for about eighteen thousand years, last of the gods being Horus, son of Isis.

Additionally, Diodorus in Book III mentions a myth that in Libya the first king was Uranus who gathered humans into a walled city and introduced civilization—and that his daughters lay with gods and heroes, producing those later called gods and heroes.

• The specific text is Diodorus Siculus, Library of History, Book III (esp. chap. 60-61) — the “Atlantian/Libyan gods = former kings” myth.,
• Herodotus discusses the Libyans ethnographically — their customs, gods, geography. E.g., in Book 4 he says the Libyans sacrificed to Sun and Moon, counted themselves Libyans, etc.,
• He does not appear (in surviving work) to provide a detailed myth in which gods are formerly kings of Libya or heirs of royal offices in the same way Diodorus does.
• Herodotus’s relevant material is more descriptive of Libyan peoples and generic gods-worship rather than the mythic scenario you described.,

Herodotus - Origin of gods from Scythian purple born

Herodotus gives one of the earliest (and most elaborate) accounts of a people claiming direct descent from a god — the Scythians, descended from Heracles and a serpent-woman (drakaina).

Below is the exact source.

• Herodotus is the earliest major author to record this claim,
• Herodotus, Histories Book 4.8–10, recounts the Scythian origin myth:
  • book 4.5–10, especially 4.8–10, the Scythian origin myth claiming descent from Heracles (or Zeus) and a serpent-woman, establishing kingship through divine blood.,,Heracles, while traveling, encounters a woman who is half-serpent (ἡμίσειαν ἔχουσα γυναικός, ἡμίσειαν δὲ ὄφεως).
• He mates with her.,
• She bears three sons.,
• She says that whichever son can string Heracles’ bow will become king … and the ancestor of the Scythians.,
• The successful son Targitaos becomes the first Scythian king.,
• Thus the Scythians claim direct descent from a god (Heracles).,Greek (key phrase)
• Herodotus 4.10:,
• “οὕτω δὴ ἀπὸ Ἡρακλέος καὶ τῆς ἡμίσειαν οὖσαν γυναικός, ἡμίσειαν δὲ ὄφεως, τὴν Σκυθικὴν γενεὴν ἄρξαι λέγουσι.”,
• “Thus they say the Scythian race began from Heracles and a woman who was half-woman and half-serpent.”

Herodotus 4.5–7 also gives a second Scythian origin myth involving Targitaos, son of Zeus and a daughter of the river Borysthenes — again a divine-royal ancestry.
