<p>[QUOTE="Mike Margolis, post: 3015843, member: 88401"]Look, it is not a matter of being "foreshadowed" in my understanding. There is some reading that might help your understanding of the goddess traditions of these ancient peoples. Maybe someone here could recommend some good books. Zeus and many of the Olympians are just children- yes children of the great goddess. Tyche was for some a local face of the mother of the gods. Like Zeus may carry the lightningbolt but the goddess IS the thunder. The oldest traditions have her - specifically Tyche as the daughter of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys- far older dudes than the Olympians. A lot of political maneuvering went on with all this also. He may flex political might and authority but she steers the ship and provides the essentials of life. Read up on Eleusian mystery tradition. Nice coins btw Sweet patina on the OP.[USER=76919]@Jbruce[/USER] .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
