Nostradamus C5 Q18: The ancients on whose wisdom modernity draws
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, Jan 2023

The following verse C5 Q18 is about the offspring of great families who rebel, conspire and kill their parents. The anagrams involve allusions to Greek Gods and philosophers who provide the keys to this verse's story. They include Exilarch, become, Epicureanist, Iapetus, Caeneus, forelay, Thecla, spirit, emblem, atom, accident ,  empties Jove, d'France, final, combat and tomb.

Collectively this set of terms identify philosophical issues that are found in other verses and their presence makes them powerful indicatiors of Nostradamus' fundamental beliefs. Of this group the term Epicureanist is the most powerful in developing issues shown in other story lines published by me.

In addition this verse's anagrams for final life profiles guided (a l'inf  / feli  / x profli/ ige De due) in the first line and helix CTA [codon] become rebel reason ( ix l'he_cat_ombe C_elebr_era ſon) in the second suggest Nostradamus was talking about the modern genetic's chromosomal spiral.

"Epicurus was an atomic materialist, following in the steps of Democritus. His materialism led him to a general attack on superstition and divine intervention. Epicureanism was originally a challenge to Platonism. Later its main opponent became Stoicism. Although Epicureanism is a form of hedonism insofar as it declares pleasure to be its sole intrinsic goal, the concept that the absence of pain and fear constitutes the greatest pleasure, and its advocacy of a simple life, make it very different from "hedonism" as colloquially understood."...Wikipedia
