LadyBabylon DISCLAIMER

Lady Babylon presents the scholarship of Dr. D. C. A. Ammon Hillman: his readings of the ancient Greek and Roman sources, the Greek language, and the history of drugs, medicine and religion. It is an agnostic archive. It records his work faithfully and points to the primary sources so you can weigh them yourself. Presentation of an idea, claim, or reading is documentation, not endorsement, by Lady Babylon, by this application, or by anyone associated with it.

Unfiltered scholarship

The archive presents Dr. Hillman’s work in full, including frank scholarly discussion of ancient texts, among them descriptions of violence and abuse. These are reported as his attributed readings, cited to their sources. They are not endorsed. TO SEE, YOU MAY EXAMINE THE PRIMARY SOURCE TEXTS YOURSELF. Nothing is fabricated.

Concerning children

On one axis the archive does not bend. Material concerning minors is stated only at the level of a cited claim, and is never reproduced, depicted, sexualised, or elaborated. Sensitive material is withheld pending review. Nothing here endorses, encourages, or instructs the abuse of children, or of any person. Dr. Hillman, Lady Babylon, and the Muses unequivocally denounce crimes against children and crimes against humanity in every form.

Concerning Drugs

The ancient world was awash in pharmakon, for medicinal and magical reasons. Material concerning drugs is scholarly and meant to explain the ancient practices in a scholarly way to a general audience. We do not advocate drug use, if you or a loved one has a problem with drugs, please contact the appropriate helpline.

Concerning Satanism

The Satan described by Dr Hillman (e.g. when he says Hail Satan) is the Saturn or Bacchus of the ancient world, said as a wake up call, or representation of nature, and is not to be confused with the flattened distorted modern Christian Satan. We do not condone or advocate for modern Christian Satanism, and Dr Hillman rejects it as well, we do not condone evil of any form. See Hail Satan for his choice of wording.
