Topic	Did Norse and Greek gods really clash in any mythology?
BB mofo 07/01/22 11:10:13 AM #11:	lilORANG posted... Nah, but there's some of that in the old testament where Yahweh slowly devours lesser pagan gods to become the one Supreme being. Reminds me when Seleucid King Antiochus Epiphanes ordered the Jews to worship Zeus. The Israelite High Priest at the time was a Hellenized Jew with a Greek name who tried to smooth the command over with the populace. He placed a statue of Zeus in the Holy of Holies and insisted that Zeus was in reality Yahweh, so it shouldn't be a problem to worship Yahweh under that name. We know how that went. --- "But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?" -Mark Twain <cite>BB mofo posted [p:966256810] in Did Norse ...
