I really dont think people realize that the Greeks got pretty much everything from the Egyptians (gods especially)… and watered it all down significantly. Zeus is what the Greeks collectively chose to make the chief god Amun. Amun (Or "Amen"…like the "amen" that you say at the end of your prayers 😐)isn't hardly ever made as human in Egyptian mythology as Zeus is made by the Greeks. The creative aspect of God is replaced by more crude sex acts….this is partially why the Egyptians frequently referred to Greeks as "children".
I wish there was more discussion of the change in genealogies and pantheon. Maybe it requires more information than is available but it seems there would a significant change in society or maybe the faith become my structured with time
Well, Dione is attested in mycenaean times, as Diwia.
I suspect that Hera and Dione were one and the same goddess in the bronze age of Grece, and that the tales of the titans or the separation of this goddess are a late development. Which would make sense.
I find them all fascinating. I can't keep the stories straight anyway, so the more I hear, I suppose the more familiar they become.
