Glad you are still posting videos. Very good and interesting. It disturbed me as a boy when i first read the Iliad and read about Zeus hanging Hera from heaven by golden chains and anvils from her ankles. Was Homer attempting to justify domestic violence with this i thought? How could the Greeks worship such barbaric and even childishishly bickering gods. No wonder Socrates unhappiness with the poets portrayal of the gods.

Ancient allegory was employed like a code and it is possible for it to be deciphered. There are two "worlds"; one is the real world and one is the world created on the written page. The "above" in the "shadow" world is generally associated with the false literal world and it is "feminine" while the "below" is generally associated with the real world and it is "masculine". "Earth" also represents "reality", "air" represents "cover" elements formed by literal meanings, "water" represents "writings", and "fire" is the transformative element that represents "interpretation". When allegory is created, the masculine is forced down into the "underworld" while the feminine is raised up, however, these directions are reversed when allegoric interpretation reveals what has been hidden. "Gold" is the concept that we know as "history" while "silver" represents "cover" elements. The gender of allegory is determined by how believable the literal words are rather than the amount of literal truth they contain. In other words, anything that we are willing to accept as "history" because it contains very few, if any, "magical" elements is male, while "myths" involving miracles or monsters are female. (In the Bible, the only male that ever represented true truth was "Adam" because he had no "mother", but this quality was lost when he was "bound" to Eve.) The allegoric scenario described in this video sounds very much like what happened to the allegory surrounding King David. The "history" of King David is actually an amalgamation of the stories associated with his Thirty Mighty Men and anyone that had access to the original stories would have a relatively easy time stripping the cover (or "clothes") off of King David (one link at a time) and exposing his story as a fraud and this is exactly what happened - twice. These betrayal's of David's cover were eventually repaired (through strict censorship and disinformation), but the remnants were left behind so that the full story could be preserved in the underworld. Because there are some overlaps between Old Testament allegory and Greek allegory it is even possible that Hera was intended to represent King David in this instance.
