But I wonder: Has anyone heard anything about such monsters as the Abraxas,
problems, Charybdis ?? ..





Abraxas
Being a rooster head - the Hellenistic god Abrasax (or Abraxas), which is often called the Demiurge, IAO.
He accompanies the solar symbols: a rooster each morning announcing the return of the sun - a symbol of rebirth, and whip with a shield with which he is often portrayed - symbolize the heat of the midday sun.
Abrasax often depicted in the magic amulets and gems Hellenistic age; Alexandrian Gnostic Basilides Abrasax called "365 Great Ruler of Heaven" and the creator of the physical universe.



Abrasax belongs to the category zmeenogoy solar deity, which indicates the marked aspect of this god.
Thus, Abrasax sunny cock, creator of the world, symbolizes the productive power of the sun.
But, unlike Christ, it is not directly related to the Higher Aspect of the Solar Logos, the Creator.



Problems
Problems as a fantastic tribe belongs to the ancient creatures of imagination, continue to exist in the Middle Ages.

Charybdis
