Porphyry’s On Abstinence from Killing Animals is a Neoplatonic defense of vegetarianism, arguing that avoiding meat supports spiritual purification, ethical justice, and philosophical clarity. He contends that animals possess reason and deserve moral consideration, critiques ritual sacrifice as spiritually misguided, and draws on Pythagorean and cross-cultural examples to show that abstaining from animal flesh aligns with divine order and the contemplative life.

Earth Under Fire: Humanity's Survival of the Ice Age by Paul A. LaViolette explores the connection between ancient catastrophe myths and modern scientific evidence of galactic events. LaViolette argues that a massive explosion from the center of our galaxy triggered a cosmic superwave that caused global disasters near the end of the last ice age. Drawing on astronomy, geology, and mythology, he suggests that ancient civilizations encoded warnings in their monuments and star lore, pointing to cycles of destruction that could recur. The book blends science and esoteric interpretation to propose a cosmic origin for Earth’s past cataclysms.

The Mycenaean Origin of Greek Mythology argues that much of Greek mythology grew out of Mycenaean society (c. 1600–1100 BCE), where local heroic cults, rituals, and material culture provided the raw stories later reshaped by poets and city-states; rather than stemming primarily from broad Indo-European "nature" myths, many heroic narratives have concrete, regional origins and were adapted over time for political and genealogical purposes.
