	St. Paul the Hermit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Paul is taken as the first hermit (that is, one who chooses to live a solitary life, totally apart and usually in a desert place, for the sake of Christ).
		Paul's fame as a holy man spread far and wide, certainly to these islands, for the scene of his burial is recorded on some ancient Irish crosses and also on the famous Ruthwell Cross from S.W. Scotland, which dates from, the year 700.
		Paul, alias St. Paul of Thebes, was reputedly the first of these hermits, taking to the wilderness in a time of persecution (under the emperor Decius in the 250’s) and remaining there until his death aged over 100 — a longevity also achieved by St. Anthony.

	St. Paul the Hermit
		There are three important versions of the Life of St. Paul: (1) the Latin version (H) of St. Jerome; (2) a Greek version (b), much shorter than the Latin; (3) a Greek version (a), which is either a treanslation of H or an amplification of b by means of H.
		When a young man of sixteen Paul fled into the desert of the Thebaid during the Decian persecution.
		It is not surprising that stories of St. Anthony meeting fabulous beasts in his mysterious journey should spring up among people with whom belief in such creatures lingered on, as belief in fairies does to the present day.

	Teniers - AMAM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Paul of Thebes, traditionally regarded as the first Christian hermit, lived much of his life in a cave at the edge of the Theban Desert, sustained by fruit from a date palm and the bread brought to him daily by a raven.
		Paul is clad in a dun-colored garment of leaves; Anthony wears a fl cloak with a "T" on the left shoulder (first letter of the Greek word Theos, or God), his attribute in art and the habit of the order of Hospitalers of St. Anthony, founded in 1100.
		In the wooden shed at the center of the composition is a pig, representative of the temptations of sensuality and gluttony; the pig often accompanied Anthony as an indication of his triumph over sin.

	St Paul (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		What courage it needed for St Paul of all people to change - to be different - to be the new person that God was calling him to be, to admit that he had been wrong and to change his whole way of life.
		Paul the prospective chief Rabbi and leading pharisee dashed in one dramatic lightening flash of understanding, as he realised that he could no longer do it, because he didn’t believe it any more.
		And slowly those of us who have faced the panic and blindness of change, whether it be the unsought sudden change of bereavement, breakdown, or illness, or the rational chosen change of retirement, or moving on, do learn - with new friends - to see new ways, discover new visions, new horizons, new surroundings.

		While such enormities were being perpetrated in the lower part of the Thebaid, Paul and his newly married sister were bereaved of both their parents, he being about sixteen years of age.
		Paul lies covered with worthless dust, but will rise again to glory; over you are raised costly tombs, but both you and your wealth are doomed to the burning.

	Greek mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Greeks themselves referred to the myths and associated artworks to throw light on cult practices and ritual traditions that were already ancient and, at times, poorly understood.
		The span of stories and characters in Greek mythology ranges from the atrocities of the early gods to the brutal wars of Troy and Thebes, from the youthful pranks of Hermes to the heartfelt grief of Demeter for Persephone, all depicted in minute detail in a bewildering range of media.
		This includes the doings of Atreus and Thyestes at Argos; also those of Laius and Oedipus at Thebes, leading to the eventual pillage of that city at the hands of the Seven Against Thebes and Epigoni.

	Saint Patrick's Church: Saints of January 15
		Paul, orphaned at 15, had a property inheritance; and his pagan brother-in-law saw a double opportunity in betraying him to the officers of Emperor Decius: first to get the reward promised to those who turned in Christians, and second to obtain for himself the inherited property.
		The 22-year-old Paul, already in hiding in a remote village, was warned by his sister and fled into the desert, not so much as a permanent place to live as much as a refuge because he feared that his faith may not be strong enough to endure persecution.
		Paul insisted that his guest must have the privilege of breaking the bread, whereas the 90-year-old youngster Antony wanted to defer to the elder Paul.

	History of the Christian Church, Volume III: Nicene and Post-Nicene Christianity. A.D. 311-600. (iii.vii.viii)
		Paul had sufficient curiosity left to ask the question, whether there were any more idolaters in the world, whether new houses were built in ancient cities and by whom the world was governed?
		This question of monkish etiquette, which may have a moral significance, consumed nearly the whole day, and was settled at last by the compromise that both should seize the loaf at opposite ends, pull till it broke, and keep what remained in their hands.
		In this Paul we have an example, of a canonized saint, who lived ninety years unseen and unknown in the wilderness, beyond all fellowship with the visible church, without Bible, public worship, or sacraments, and so died, yet is supposed to have attained the highest grade of piety.

		Born of wealthy parents in Lower Thebes in Egypt in the reign of the Emperor Decius, he and a sister of his together inherited all their parents' property.
		He therefore threatened Paul that he would betray him to the authorities as a Christian if he did not hand over his share of the property.
		This mis-fortune, coupled with the examples of self-sacrifice by the Christian martyrs that Paul saw with his own eyes, induced him to give his half of the property to his sister and go of into the desert, where he lived in asceticism until his death.

		One of the earliest hermits of the Egyptian wilderness, Paul discovered underground in the desert an abandoned secret government facility from the days of Cleopatra and made it his dwelling place.
		It is interesting that after decades of isolation, St. Paul's first questions to Anthony were about the state of the Empire: being an anchorite did not mean ceasing to care about people in the world.
		It presents the hermit and his visitor as attractive and humane figures -- Paul's first comment to Anthony is actually a witticism -- representatives of a divine civilisation flourishing in the wilderness while the secular culture of the cities, gruesomely portrayed in the Vita's opening paragraphs, degenerated into violence and sensuality.
