Problem
Read the entirety of "Chapter 7 - Multiple Aspects: the more, the merrier" from Barber & Barber's 2011 book When They Severed Earth from Sky. How the Human Mind Shapes Myth overall points that Barber & Barber are illustrating:
i) the Multiple Aspects Principle and the impact of analogy on imagination and the explanation of phenomena; ii) the Rainbow Corollary, with its consequence of the tendency to "hedge one's bets" when different cultures and viewpoints come into contact - with the frequent outcome of creating functional doublets; iii) the "Heretic Syndrome" and its intolerance to threats of reduction; iv) the importance of redundancy in fertility contexts (and its impressive long-lasting permanence);
After reading, answer the following two questions in no less than 100 - no more than 250 words each, separating each reply to each question with numbers or bullet points:
Based on the additional reading, how are Poseidon and Athena an example of newcomer Indo-European Mycenaeans "hedging their bets"?
Choose one theme, or one principle from the reading and illustrate it by summarizing Barber & Barber's discussion of one or more myths/mythological figures related to that theme/principle.
