So it’s a myth. :^) I happen to like myths — usually anyway. (Except for Darwin’s.) They are enormously interesting to me; for as Eric Voegelin wrote, “Myth remains the legitimate language of movements of the soul.” Thus a legitimate myth is always “true” in a certain sense. If a myth anticipates quantum mechanics from over 2,000 years in the past, I’d say that’s pretty extraordinary.


WoW,, Eric Voegelin and Joseph Campbell on the same page..
Will wonders ever cease?....

Who’s next Willie Wonka and G. Gordon Liddy?..

Being amazified has an almost spiritual quality to it don’t it?..

Comparative mythology???

Jeepers, I don't think I'd be much interested in that.
