Written by a translator of ancient Greek, this document explains the Homeric view of European gods. With meticulous rationale, the trite views of the mainstream scholars are torn down. Europe's gods are not comic book superheroes, incarnated messiahs or distant superstitions. Nor are they petty things engaged in eternal rivalry or sexual degeneracy, the author explains. Towards the end, each of the main Olympians is explained as an animistic spirit within each European and/or the natural world of Europe, anthropomorphized for narrative and dramatic purposes. An essential read by anyone who wishes to learn more about European ancestral religions and culture.
