Σύμπαν και άνθρωπος

Όλα στο σύμπαν αφορούν τη μεταμόρφωση.Η ζωή μας μοιάζει με τις σκέψεις που τη διαμορφώνουν.

Baaltars (combination of "Baal" and "Tarsus") (Aramaic: בעלתרז) was a deity of the Persian Empire, the Baal or Zeus of the city of Tarsus.[1] His depiction appears on coins of the Persian kings or satraps of Cilicia at Tarsus before Alexander the Great in the 5th and 4th century BCE, such as Datames, Pharnabazes[2] or Mazaios,[3] or also on coins of the early Seleucids.[1] The equivalent of Baaltars for the Greeks was Zeus.
