The punishment of hubris, quite often in totally disproportionate ways, is pretty common in myth. They give a clear sense that there are some...
Personally, I don't think we're ever going to stop making up stories. Deduct religion from culture and you still have people believing in bizarre...
I'm sorry, and I know you'll think I'm being mule-headed, but you just dished out a whole big bowl of tacit support right there. I'm sure that,...
