That's actually a very important point.
Whatever individual cultures held, were just the culture, in general.
For example, the ancient Hebrews were just all Hebrews.
Their culture was their culture. It was not a case of "some" believed *this or that*, or the existence of different sects.
The Greeks did eventually have different "schools" of philosophy, though : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorea...man%20body.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
