True. Some myth and hyperbole has been injected into Galileo's story. Some of the church v. science stuff is pomp and spectacle.
But Galileo was placed on house arrest and instructed not to teach his ideas. We can all agree Galileo was a visionary and didn't deserve this kind of treatment, regardless of his demeanor.
