: Well, then why did you say that the opposite was the
: case, basing your point on the concept that, if Troy
: were so gloriously declaimed, it would qualify as
: being so in greatest truth? Now you contradict that
: earlier sentiment in favor with what I have proven,
: agreeing what I have said is so, and then going on to
: say that this basis is false, the very same basis by
: which you based your former argument, and yet still
: trying to disagree with me in both instances, which
: are diametrically opposed? Preposterous! :-) Why not
: merely say that a straight road (naturally forming
: great circle across the Earth's spherical surface)
: goes south in either direction? :-)
When did I say anything like that? In fact, I was the one who said that Troy was a motherland, but NOT a paradise. Troy was a major city with headed a confederacy of small states in Asia Minor. What I definitely did not say was that Troy was a city of a million inhabitants, ringed by nine walls, each wall thirty metres tall, thirty metres thich and hung with plaques of gold. :)
: No, I'm not. The confusion you mention is that of the
: believers themselves, the writers of these tales,
: making misassociations with different deities and
: virtues; it's no fault of our own, but of the
: ancients.
fair enough.
: Very good again, Martel! The virginal Holy Mother is the
: *exact* representation prevalent through mythologies,
: as is visible, for example, in Christianity, to name
: one.
One problem here: Athena was never a mother at all. Greek Mythology seems to go in much more for fluky births rather than virgin motherhoods (Athena rising, fully armed, from Zeus' split forehead, Aphrodite being created from Cronos' blood falling in the sea, the Olympians (excluding Zeus and Aphrodite) surviving being eaten by Cronos). Nevertheless, as a general point, a tendency towards virgin motherhoods still holds true (apparently, Osiris' genetalia were the one part that Isis couldn't find.)
: I still don't know why you brought this up…let's let it
: go.
fine.
