It's pretty much the same stuff, just with greek names crossed out and roman ones penciled in.

it's essentially the same stories,but all the meaning seems to have got lost somewhere, it's like a Tom Clancy rewrite of a Kurt Vonnegut. Personally I prefer the Babylonian/Sumerian stuff, that even the Greeks lifted from.

I've never looked at Babylonian or Sumerian.Suggest a book and I'll give it a go, assuming I have time to buy it off amazon before I go home.

This confused me because I thought it was already in my "to read" pile, before I realised that I was thinking of the Gormenghast Trilogy.
