Agreed. I often lament that we don't live in a truly rational society. In such a society, anyone who seriously presents ancient myths as "historical documentation" to support their own superstitious claims in any academic discussion should simply be laughed out of the room.
You know that's exactly what would happen if we were discussing a "historical Hercules" and then the story of the 12 labors was offered up as proof.
