If you read halfway through the first post and you did not object to what you read about Shepherd gods and god’s estates, it means that you find nothing strange about it. Then there come the Bull gods raping the women of mankind to produce slaves and you still find nothing strange!!
Anyway, the point I try to make is that myths are echoes of past events because the story they relate is too complicated, too realistic and comes from so many different cultures that cannot be considered fiction.
People react negatively to this theory and thus citation of passages from the texts have to be provided but then the posts become boring.
Neither theists nor atheists are willing to consider the possibility that mankind (the hybrid god/men or Homo sapiens sapiens/Neanderthal) were “created” by the gods through forced interbreeding because theists loose their God and atheists have to admit creation as regards anthropogony.
