A risky business.

I like the concept. Of multiple competing gods. Each with his/her own specialty. The Greeks had it right. More gods than one could count on the fingers of two hands. Made for potential strife. And insecurity.  It was difficult keeping track of all the gods. Some gods seemed to overlap into other gods’ jurisdictions. I suspect that the so-called supreme god had to keep looking over his shoulder. After all, one of his underlings might be planning a coup d’etat. Yes, being a Greek god was a risky business. --Jim Broede
