Even small countries try to shape their enviroment as much as they can. As a Greek, you know that very well. Zeus left the his first love Themis (goddes of justice) for a beauty from Argos. :crying: There is justice any more
what Gods punish is Υβρις,
Υβρις means exagaration, insult of deitys, abuse, contumely, affront, indignity etc,
υβρις is abomination infront eyes of humans and Gods,
But it is human nature to challenge the gods,
as it is human nature to give divine origin to a hero, or a king.
later at middle ages that was replaced by Noble origin by 'blue blood'
but all kings and sultans claim 'ελεω θεου',
by 'God's will', by 'God's mercy', in 'God we trust', 'defender of faith' etc,
so what is the difference if humans make a myth of divine origin (son of Zeus), or kings claim God's mercy, chosen by God?
king David had so many 'goats' (women), king Solomon also,
prophet Mohamet married an old rich (divorced if remember correct) woman when he was young, and a kid when he was old,
cause in some peoples mind Justice can be bought by money, or can be settle by force and violence (rape of peoples will, rape of Themis)
anyway justice is a blind lady, but Nemesis is not,
so Zeus have seen his son Hercules as servant to a king,
David seen his son revolt and dead,
and Mohamet also seen his relatives slain each other,
and when someone is judging with 2 measures and 2 weights is provoking Nemesis, he makes an υβρις
and I do not deny that even in my people exist such men,
so the division of Syria, might be Gods will, and justice, by with same measures we should counter Ukraine Kossovo and Bosnia,
that is what I said, and my written are confess of my challenge to Deitys,
Devils advocate.
