[Fwd: Query about God]

[Carrol Cox]

Epic is a wild genre -- it's almost impossible to come up with a
really false construal of anything in any very rich epic. The history
of epic interpretation (Homer, Virgil, Dante, Milton esp.) provides
a marvellous empirical argument for the proposition that a text
means anything any reader makes it mean.
