ATHENA AND KAIN: THE TRUE MEANING OF GREEK MYTH. PAPERBACK, 214 PAGES. $14.95 PLUS $5.00 S&H = $19.95 TOTAL. Athena and Kain addresses the direct correspondence between the Greek religious system and the early events described in the Book of Genesis. Greek myth is not subjective metaphor or child-like belief in nature gods, but rather, the history of the human race. Without Genesis as a guide, Greek vase-paintings, sculptures, and myths mean virtually nothing to us; but with Genesis as a frame of reference, ancient Greek art and myth begin to make sense. No longer trapped in a fuzzy mental realm full of perplexing gods and befuddling stories, we begin to see the remarkably clear and coherent messages painted on vases and carved in marble by our ancestors.
