took me a while to get to it, but very worth it: this was very good. it always seemed to me that the picture of the Greeks as rational-metaphysical and the Hebrews as prophetic-mythic was extremely reductive (if nothing else because even Plato attributes so much of Greek knowledge to the Egyptians which are probably the most mytho-poetic society ever). this is a good foot in the door for the bridging. I think these three cultures (Hebrew, Greek and Egyptian) are, in fact, only one - and the separation is really a modern idea more than anything else.
