Recipes of Long Living
Ovidius describes in which way, Essonas,
king of Thessaly (located in Greece), became young again by Mideia, a witch-queen
who loved Iasonas.
"In her praying she used all her knowledge
according to the stars, metals and plants. She rubbed Essonas with hot
perfumed plants, watered by magic liquids. Thanks to the juice of the plants,
Mideia succeeded to reborn Essonas."
In 1735, Long-ville-Harkoue wrote
a book with the title: "Stories of humans that lived centuries and become
young again." Here's a piece of it:
"Tomas Peirk died painless at the
age of 169. At his 101 he was punished, at the entrance of the church at
his village, because he left a young girl pregnant.
"At the south India exist humans that
live over 400 years. It is said that their exclusive food is the meat of
the viper."
"At the south of Scotland, at the
islands Nirieeds, exist humans that live many years. According to the tradition,
the humans over 200 are being killed since they are useless to the community."
"The well known Parakelsus supported
that with Hydrargyrus of life that he had discovered, he could reborn an
old lady to a girl, and also transform metal to gold. Unfortunately, the
man who promised so much died at the age of 37."
