Epilogue to Athena and Kain
I have gained insight more than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.
Psalm 119:99
The ancient Greeks used their myths and their art to establish and proclaim their historical and religious identity. They viewed their myths as historical truths that had been communicated to them, and which they were determined to communicate to posterity.
To say that some ancient Greek myths tend to validate the early events described in the Book of Genesis is to greatly understate the case, even miss the point. The truth is that the entire formidable framework of ancient Greek society means virtually nothing without reference to those events.
The implications are far-reaching. This book is strong evidence, for example, against Darwin's evolutionary hypothesis. The Greeks knew where they came from, and it wasn't from tadpoles, monkeys, or knuckle-dragging troglodytes.
Why have these truths about the ancient Greek world been hidden from us for so long? I have some ideas on that, and will share them with you in the next book in the series, Athena's Cloak.
