Athena not only acts as judge in The Eumenides, she also founds the trial by jury system. So I always think of her whenever I get those pesky summonses!
Athena my favorite mythological character. The lack of a Christian ethos interesting. She likes Odysseus because he is resourceful and crafty, not pathetic. Does the Christian way make us weak, enable clerics and the lazy?
Sean, it can be cause for sadness to dream of all the stories lost to humanity’s messiness. Yet, the many examples of wisdom and art we do have are mostly unheeded and unappreciated. That makes things sadder still.
You see that is the question. Nothing can ever be settled if there is no universal law or absolute Truth. I’m not saying there is such a thing, I don’t know. Our arguments are untethered having no anchor other than superior rhetoric and the advantage of brute force.

No olvidemos que Atenea es también la diosa de la guerra...

To be wise is not always wisdom.
To possess wisdom does not always make you wise.
Speaking relatively or situationally. If there is an absolute Truth to Life, it is elusive. Right?
Not an 'or', but an 'and'.
What is truth to one can be false to another, therefore truth cannot be absolute, even to life. Not elusive, nonexistent.
If anything, a paradox
