		His ultimate conclusion is that "there is simply no ontology to myth": "'Greek mythology' only begins with mythography; its debut is the moment when an Apollodorus, fashioning himself a narratologue, reduces to their plots those narratives that in fact only exist in ritual situations and poetical works.
		The stemmatic approach to mythology, in which comparisons of the variants are used to produce an Ur-mythos that is the proper object of study, is thus consciously reversed.
		Her displacement from Thessaly, where as a shepherdess she bears weapons and hunts lions, to Libya, where she gives birth and rules a colony of islanders, repeats this "simultaneous transformation into an adult woman and an adult man" in spatial terms (70).

	Robert Graves' GREEK MYTHS
		A study of Greek mythology should begin with a consideration of what political and religious systems existed in Europe before the arrival of Aryan invaders from the distant North and East.
		The whole of Neolithic Europe, to judge from surviving artefacts and myths, had a remarkably homogeneous system of religious ideas, based on worship of the many-titled Mother goddess, who was also known in Syria and Libya.
		Early Greek mythology is concerned, above all else, with the changing relations between the queen and her lovers, which begin with their yearly, or twice-yearly sacrifices; and end, at the time when the ILIAD was composed and kings boasted: "We are far better than our fathers!", with her eclipse by an unlimited male monarchy.
