10. That's kind of controversial...
Edited on Wed Dec-15-10 05:02 PM by Democracyinkind

...kind of an egg and hen question.

There's those who say it's Greek mythology, there's those that say that the greeks themselves sneaked it out from somewhere, and then there's the whole narrative-archetype crowd that has been very vocal in the last years as far as I've heard.

The issue of whom-copied-whom in those times are a bit too complex to simply say "X derived Y from Z" in most cases... But then again - the similarities are stunning, as are others. Then there's the whole pre doric blackout and all ... Well .. No easy question... my 2 cents
