I really do like the idea of this [I believe in the literal Iliad], particularly if one can include a literal belief in the Odyssey as well. Can I steal the concept, please? Here's what I want to do with it.

I got the idea from someone's post a couple of years ago. He said he believed in a literal Gilgamesh. Anyway, it's yours -- the gods are the common inheritance of us all. (Although I have some doubts about the Odyssey; I suspect that at least some parts of it are metaphorical.)

Wrong--we of the newly-formed OD (Olympian Design) Movement hereby grant unto ourselves sole and exclusive rights to speak on behalf of the Graeco-Roman pantheon.

A special region of Hades has been reserved for you to contemplate your blasphemous heresy for all eternity.
