Greetings SmittySmitty, Marcus, etcYes, and you would also have to take into account that by the time of ALexander, there had already been a certain amount of cross-cultural infusions, so you would also have to determine where the "original" god or goddess may have come from, what attributes it had originally and how it was absorbed into the pantheon.. and why. Like the story of Amazons, we have to remember that the stories of the gods, too, had their own beginnings built from earlier mythology (which has its own intrique. For example, do the Titans who were before the gods have a tie to the "in those days, there were giants upon the earth" from biblical lore?)Regards,
Sikander
