Well, what makes you think it isn't? There is a Uruguayan writer who I like, Eduardo Galeano (whose sales and notoriety spiked last year when Venezuelan president Hugo Chaves gave Obama a 1970s book by Galeano called "Open Veins of Latin America). In Galeano's most recent book "Mirrors" he says (I am paraphrasing and translating) "I do not know if the Greek myths were true or not. But that does not matter. What is important is that they are true now".<br /><br />I think he is onto something there.Lorenzo — Alchemist's Pillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522265816460154722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-8900528103625149312010-06-03T14:43:15.556+02:002010-06-03T14:43:15.556+02:00This is an "N.
