By Tyler Bauer through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell, opensourcebuddhism.org This piece offers an overview of the ancient Greek religion, discussing the Minoan and Mycenaean precursors. The discussion of sin Greek-style, or personal pride known as hubris is discussed along with the role of oracles. The origins of the gods are presented at an odd place in the middle. Bauer gives a description of the titans and defines each of the Greek gods with an accompanying image. The Fates are presented as above the gods and Dionysis as role model for Christ is presented, along with Aphrodite and Eros as types for Mary, Queen of Heaven and son.
