…for the big “children” who believe in miracles!…
…because many times the “fairy tales” can be real, but also terrifying!
For centuries, Christians converted the temples of the ancient religion into Christian ones and adapted their “narrative” upon the old foundations! However, they did not do this only upon marble and stones …They also adapted the very myths concerning the ancient gods upon the persons and needs of the new religion! …The Virgin Mary, for example, took on the characteristics of the ever-virgin Athena, upon the ruins of the Temple of Athena! …She became a female omnipotent and all-wise General who protected the peoples from their enemies! Saint George became a new “Perseus” who performs “feats”, exterminating terrible “beasts”! Christ Himself appeared as a new beautiful and radiant and “light-bearing” Apollo! New saints took the places of the old demigods and heroes, and the world accepted this! …The worship remained the same, the knowledge was protected, and only the names of the protagonists changed! …The names “covered”, but did not destroy the “essence” of the myths!
