Question: Did the Greeks have it right!.!.!.!?
Did the Greeks have the right Idea by not personifying "Evil" as a single villain against the gods, rather as human vices who coexisted with the Gods!? Doesn't that make more sense than Good Vs Evil!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think they did!. And wouldn't it teach men that they could be coerced into 'evil', and the potential monster lies within them, as opposed to outside them in another entity which they are not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
