That the divine is light and makes itself known in light is a fundamental religious experience of the human being. Among the Greeks, the close connection between god and light is already manifest in the name of the supreme god, Zeus, who is the personification of the clear and radiant sky. From him comes the light of day, he furthers the years (Hesiod, Works and Days, 765). His eyes shine (ὄσσε φαεινώ, Iliad XVI, 645). Like Helios, Zeus sees everything (ἴστω Ζεὺς ὁ πάνθ᾽ ὁρῶν ἀεί, Sophocles, Antigone, 184), for his eye never rests (οὐχ εὕδει Διὸς ὀφθαλμός, Tragicorum Graecorum Fragmenta, vol. 2, fr. 485, 1, ed.

摘要

That the divine is light and makes itself known in light is a fundamental religious experience of the human being. Among the Greeks, the close connection between god and light is already manifest in the name of the supreme god, Zeus, who is the personification of the clear and radiant sky. From him comes the light of day, he furthers the years (Hesiod, Works and Days, 765). His eyes shine (ὄσσε φαεινώ, Iliad XVI, 645). Like Helios, Zeus sees everything (ἴστω Ζεὺς ὁ πάνθ᾽ ὁρῶν ἀεί, Sophocles, Antigone, 184), for his eye never rests (οὐχ εὕδει Διὸς ὀφθαλμός, Tragicorum Graecorum Fragmenta, vol. 2, fr. 485, 1, ed. Nauck).
