How is this substanitally differnt from the view of antiquity presented by
Robert Graves, Maria Gimbutas, Carl Jung, or Joseph Campbell?

What it seems to that all of this stems from is a misundertanding of the
Romatic fantasy of a bucolic golden age (in Keats, Goethe, etc. which served
as an ideological basis for the criticism of the enlightenment) confused
with fact.
