re: #387 Guanxi88

I’ve always subscribed to the theory that these Greek tales were a combination of the following:

1) Dimly-recalled tales of great men of old;
2) Poets doing what poets do best - makin’ stuff up;
3) Esoteric instruction in doctrines not meant for public consumption, but essential to the ruling of a human society.

I agree. Of course, I think much the same thing of the Judeo-Christian tradition, but, well, there ya go.
