[QUOTE="Cassiel666, post: 348680, member: 5205"] [b]Los Nephilimos[/b] Nephilim is Hebrew for “fallen ones,” or “those who fell,” though they are actually the offspring of the fallen, who are traditionally believed to have been angels. This alternate version of an angelic fall from grace was mostly edited out of the Christian side of things (i.e. you’ll find it in more places than Gen. 6:1-4 and Num. 13:33, however those places weren’t included in the bible). The fullest (alternate) account of the fall of the sons of God is in the (apocryphal) Book of Enoch, which includes both angels abandoning Heaven to mate with women (and you thought angels were androgynous) and angels unleashing on men evils such as the art of war (a twisted inversion of Promethean fire?). Some versions even place Satan at the head of the fathers of the Nephilim (there really should be a convenient name for the fathers of the Nephilim.. oh well—I’m sure they don’t use the name Satan, but I know they wouldn’t have used Lucifer because that mix-up came later thanks to Tertullian & St. Augustine). Anyway, back to the question: that’s about all there is on the Nephilim—well, that and the fact that they were supposed to be giants, and Nimrod/Orion is alluded to as being among their number. In any case the descendents of the Nephilim are mentioned as well, like the Anakim and the Rephaim, in Deuteronomy and Joshua (scripture), and Judith, Sirach, Baruch and the Wisdom of Solomon (apocrypha). I remember a while ago there was an RPG called Nephilim. How does it come up in the product you were referring to? [/QUOTE]
