   What if the Greek Pantheon was "real", but they were just men of renown and Nephelim from around the time of the deluge?

     @john_darksoul @BowsacNoodle Augustine touches on this idea quite a lot in City of God, mostly referring to a lost work by Varro: the "Res divinae" section of "Antiquitates rerum humanarum et divinarum". From this, Augustine draws a history of some human figures later assigned divinity, and tries to sequence them with the history of the Old Testament.

     @BowsacNoodle I’ve heard this theory before. There’s just not enough evidence to confirm it. It’s just a thing that would be cool.
