Telesphorus (mythology)
In ancient Greek religion, Telesphorus (Greek: Τελεσφόρος ''Telesphoros'') was a minor child-god of healing. He was a possible son of Asclepius and frequently accompanied his sister Hygieia. He was depicted as a dwarf whose head was always covered with a cowl hood or cap. He symbolized recovery from illness, as his name means "the accomplisher" or "bringer of completion" in Greek. Representations of him are found mainly in Anatolia and along the Danube. Origin and duties Telesphorus is assumed to have been a Celtic god in origin, who was taken to Anatolia by the Galatians in the 3rd century BC, where he would have become associated with the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius, perhaps in Pergamon (an Asclepian cult center) and spread again to the West due to the rise of the Roman Empire, in particular during the 2nd century AD, from the reign of Hadrian. Telesphorus has been identified with the Genius Cucullatus invoked on two inscriptions in Noricum. It is suggested ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pope Telesphorus
Pope Telesphorus was the bishop of Rome from 126 to his death 137, during the reigns of Roman Emperors Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. He was of Greek ancestry and born in Terranova da Sibari, :it:Papa Telesforo Calabria, Italy. The Carmelites venerate Telesphorus as a patron saint of the order since some sources depict him as a hermit living on Mount Carmel. He is also a martyr according to the ancient testimony of Irenaeus. Biography Telesphorus is traditionally considered as the eighth Bishop of Rome in succession after Saint Peter. The ''Liber Pontificalis'' mentions that he had been an anchorite (or hermit) monk prior to assuming office. According to the testimony of Irenaeus (''Against Heresies'' III.3.3), he suffered a "glorious" martyrdom. Although most early popes are called martyrs by sources such as the ''Liber Pontificalis'' (dating to the 3rd century at earliest), Telesphorus is the first to whom Irenaeus, writing considerably earlier (c. 180 AD), gives this title, th ...

Telesphorus (general)
Telesphorus (in Greek Tελεσφόρoς; lived 4th century BC) was a nephew and a general in the service of Antigonus Monophthalmus, the king of Asia, who was sent by him in 312 BC, with a fleet of fifty ships and a considerable army to the Peloponnese, to oppose the forces of Polyperchon and Cassander. At first he was very successful; he drove out Polyperchon’s garrisons from all the cities of the peninsula, except Sicyon and Corinth, which were held by Polyperchon himself; but having joined with Medius in an attempt to relieve Oreus, to which Cassander had laid siege, they were defeated, with the loss of several ships. The following summer (311 BC), Antigonus having conferred the chief direction of the war in the Peloponnese upon his other nephew Ptolemy, Telesphorus was so indignant that he shook off his allegiance, and having induced some of his soldiers to follow him, established himself in Elis on his own account, and even plundered the sacred treasures at Olympia. He was, ho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Telesphorus Of Cosenza
Telesphorus of Cosenza (or ''Theophorus'', ''Theolophorus'') was a name assumed by one of the pseudo-prophets during the time of the Western Schism. As an pseudonymous author of a Latin work ''Liber de magnis tribulationibus'', the name was attached to a 1365 production of the Fraticelli. The ''Liber'' was updated (by 1386) to fit the situation in the Schism. "Telesphorus" stated that he was born in Cosenza, Italy and lived as a hermit near the site of the ancient Thebes. His book of predictions on the Schism was the most popular of the prophetic treatises of the period. More than twenty manuscripts of it are extant, and it first appeared in print, with various interpolations, as ''Liber de magnis tribulationibus in proximo futuris'' (Venice, 1516). ''Liber de magnis tribulationibus'' The work was compiled about 1386 from the writings of Joachim of Fiore, Jean de Roquetaillade, the ''Cyrillic Prophecy'' (of Cyril of Constantinople), and other apocalyptic treatises whose author ...
