Although monotheism is a recent invention in the history of religion, since we live in a Abrahamic culture, we interpret the word "god" in that context.

But when the Roman Senate voted to make Caesar a god, surely they weren't talking about anything like our concept of an omnipotent creator. And when the Japanese Shintoists believed that the emperor was a "living god" they must've had something else in mind. In Greek mythology, the gods are more human than moral in any universal sense.

When the Roman Senate voted to make Caesar a god, what did they think they were voting on?

I'm writing a play based on Castor and Pollux, and would love some advice on where to so some more research. I'm mostly following Pindar's version of events but happy for a range of good, deep sources. As an aside, a lot of the play is based around memory (how did they think of memory at the time?) and the roles of men and women in Mycenean society, especially in light of the matrilineal passage of the Spartan throne to Helen and Menelaus. So any essays/books on these subjects would be gratefully received.

Thanks everyone!

I think a lot alike, but I’m sure I’m missing things.

Hoping to find some source texts featuring Lillith as a character as well as academic analysis of these texts.

I'm really interested in the Lillith character and narrative. Since I've started studying religion, I've encountered numerous allusions to the Lillith figure. She is referred to as Adam's first wife but I've never encountered the text that features her as such...or at all. I seem to find mostly Midrash or general kind of hear-say that has no reference to sources.

Help?
