Hecate is the bridge between the ancient world & the ancient, ancient world... I kinda did the math & it seems Medusa lived during three Golden Ages. the first is the most primitive comprised of monsters, that accounts for her two older sisters, air & water spirits led by Chaos; then came the Titans & their world, which is what is in the Edda of Norse mythology & Wagner; followed by the Olympians, the last Golden Age, before history proper began thousands of years later w/ Classical Greece & the philosophers; what the Romans did was to filter Greek & Etruscan myth through the Spartan martial code while ignoring the super-advanced critical thinking called philosophy that went on in Athens that anticipated ideas that are just now in our century being proven correct & may be the very ideas that rescue us from Spartan-Roman-Zulu-Nazis who think like zombies; I'd rather be an ESP ❤ wielding poet any day; ( )
