"But how did it all begin? Europe, towards dawn, sleeping in his room on the first floor of the palace, had a strange dream: he was between two women, one was in Asia, the other was the land that is before us, and not has a name. The two women were beaten, violently for her. Each wanted her for himself. The Asia Europe seemed to be a woman of her country, and the other was for her a total foreigner. And the stranger, in the end, with powerful hands dragged her away. By the will of Zeus, said Europe would be an Asian girl abducted by a stranger. The dream was very clear, like a scene from the day. Europe woke up and was scared for a long time sitting on the bed in silence. Then she left, as always, with her companions. At the mouth of the river, among the roses and the roar of the waves, was around Europe with his basket of gold. Appeared on the Prairie infector blond color with a white circle on his forehead. Gave off a smell that covered the flowers. He stopped in front of Europe and licked his neck. She caressed him, and while wiping the foam that dripped from the mouth of plenty. The bull knelt before him, it seemed the rump. And, as she was mounted, leaped into the sea. Europe, terrified, looked toward the beach, called her friends, holding one arm in a vacuum. Then, already in the midst of the waves, with one hand clung to the great horn, the other held tightly to her chest and lifted the edge of the peplum. And behind him, the tunic was swollen in a purple sail. (Roberto Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony). " Europe, a subsidiary of Asia, Rapitalà by Zeus. Thus the Greek mythology. And in ancient Greece undoubtedly have their roots in Europe. "But how did it all begin?" From the confluence of two rivers: Hellenism and Judaism. They both sink their roots in 'Asia, so the myth tells the truth. Rome. Rome before condescendingly, then fiction and deceit and then forcibly took him to the Greek culture: again the myth is telling the truth. In Rome, there, then they reached the first disciples of the Messiah: S. Peter S. Paul. In Rome, the confluence of two rivers, which started with Paul in the Areopagus, continued by S. John in the "Prologue" is carried out. It will culminate in the "Confessions" and "City of God." It 'the time of the fall of Rome: the bag is 410. The real Urbe, the Republican has already fallen since the days of Cicero. Since then, "Culture" the real one - so much Greek as a Christian - has lived in hiding, pursued by the empire and its barbaric materialist ideology first, then the real barbarians. There is a monaco born in 480. Again a monaco, even before the days of the Messiah, had been monks at Qumran to keep the culture from barbarism. They were always instruct them to Mary, the mother of the Messiah, and apparently also the same Messiah. The Monaco was born in 480 in 529, at Monte Cassino he founded his own order and own monastery, his name is Benedict and the Benedictine monks. All that remains today is the culture that these monks were able to save from barbarous fury. Also be able to save only thanks to 'Islam, we will have - for example - wait S. Albertus Magnus and St. Thomas for through gl'arabi, regain possession of the texts of Aristotle. The culture that barbarism had destroyed and that only with difficulty in the modern technique was able to recover is immense: it had already been measured with an error of only half the diameter of the earth stage, only the relativity was able to partially recover the method of Archimedes .... The humanistic and religious remained almost intact, but it is the most persecuted by a "modernity" that seems even more barbaric. A blinded modernity, like the ancient barbarism, from its materialism and its cult of exteriority. As the 'Oedipus, "the man without interiority. But, "in inner hominis habitat veritas" wrote St. Augustine rightly. That 's what - in other words - was written on the' Oracle of Apollo at Delphi: "Know thyself." And the Oracle of Delphi, at the sight of which one was in front of a mirror, was greatest in the world of ancient culture.
