For some reason Blogger was being weird and wouldn't let her write it herself:<br /><br />I too found this a fascinating interview. "Otherwise a child may grow up to miss many nuances and expect only literal and obvious meanings in books such as the Bible which were never intended to be read in that way. Growing up ‘myth-blind' can be as much of a disadvantage as growing up colour-blind." I totally agree! In fact I think our society is beset with problems that arise from a kind of blindly literal mindsetLucy Coatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774389681477698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478585016269977581.post-38005283628526379072010-05-30T22:49:53.494+01:002010-05-30T22:49:53.494+01:00Thanks from me too!

I'm a bit ambivalent about him, myself. Was he wet not to have fought harder for Ariadne? Or is it pointless to fight a god? And why didn't Ariadne herself fight? She was pretty feisty about getting Theseus out of the Minotaur maze. There's a story in there...hmmn! *thinks*Lucy Coatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774389681477698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478585016269977581.post-28131416068651757372010-05-28T11:39:35.436+01:002010-05-28T11:39:35.436+01:00Mary, how lovely!
