Tell me, now, this is going to pack your brain, but I want you to read through this and just tell me what it what the hell is a savior. >> Deliverer, a preserver from disease, a philosopher, guide.

Epithet of Zeus. >> Notice it's a lot of Zeus Soter. We got to remember that when they say Zeus, we think of the Greek male god Zeus. They didn't. They thought of um God in general. Zeus, just like you would think of Zeus Pater, right? Like this is the father God of the group. So, this father God, this general God, can be a Soter. That's an epithet cuz under B you're going to see as an epithet of Apollo and Hermes and Asclepius. That's all those people associated with the caduceus at least. They're all the conveyor of the power of the serpent. Look underneath

That. You've got Tyche Tyche Soter. >> Tyche Soter. What do they say that's for? That's for Sotera. Wait a minute, there's a feminine? There There's a feminine form of this? Yes.

This is the divinity that they're worshipping there. So, it's a protecting goddess that goes back all the way to the Kora, the queen of hell herself,

The one we invoke every year to Eleusis to rise from the dead. The resurrection divinity. Look, number two is just coincidental. It's also an antidote. >> Oh, yeah. >> It is a specific drug. Your savior is a at least one that they had a specific name for. They called it the savior. I would say there's far more evidence that the savior is feminine. Look at the Orphic Hymns. Look at how these goddesses who were part of this mystery that they are the original saviors. 600, 700 years before Jesus. Isn't it Nice to be a protecting goddess?
