Creation: Chaos gave birth to of Ge(earth), Tartarus(underworld), Eros(love and sex), Erebus(darkness), and Nyx(night) Adam and Eve

[The similarities are so parallel one must wonder as to the actual origin of these stories. One may even go so far as to say the stories in the bible are stories of Greek mythology changed to suit the belief system of new religion.]

Tacitus records a special affinity of the Germanic peoples for Hercules. “... they say that Hercules, too, once visited them; and when going into battle, they sang of him first of all heroes. They have also those songs of theirs … they rouse their courage, while from the note they augur the result of the approaching conflict. For, as their line shouts, they inspire or feel alarm.” In the 5th to 7th centuries, during the Migration Period, the Hercules' Club amulets rapidly spread from the Elbe Germanic area across Europe. These Germanic "Donar's Clubs" were made from deer antler, bone or wood, more rarely also from bronze or precious metals. They are found exclusively in female graves, apparently worn either as a belt pendant, or as an ear pendant. The amulet type is replaced by the Viking Age Thor's hammer pendants in the course of the Christianization of Scandinavia from the 8th to 9th century.

Building on Greek culture, the Roman culture was predisposed to accept Christianity. The Roman system of roads and the unity of the Empire speedily spread Christianity.

The word Shekel literally means something that is weighed. Early coins were simply weights and measures and used initially in barter. The first bankers were the Assyrians and Babylonians over four thousand years ago. The Greeks were the main rivals of Jewish merchants around the Mediterranean. Being a Mediterranean nation, at a juncture between Europe, Asia and Africa, and with an early Talmudic attitude towards Gentiles, considering them as inferior and abhorring physical labor, Judah and associates began as early Insiders to International Trade and banking. The Court Historians claim that the Church relegated the Jews to these occupations, but the Jews themselves took an early interest and continued on, increasing their Diaspora into the Greek and later Roman worlds.

Cynicism, in its original form, refers to the beliefs of an ancient school of Greek philosophers known as the Cynics. Their philosophy was that the purpose of life was to live a life of Virtue in agreement with Nature. This meant rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, health, and fame, and by living a simple life free from all possessions. As reasoning creatures, people could gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which was natural for humans. They believed that the world belonged equally to everyone, and that suffering was caused by false judgments of what was valuable and by the worthless customs and conventions which surrounded society. Many of these thoughts were later absorbed into Stoicism.

In the Politics, Aristotle argues, “There are two sorts of wealth-getting, as I have said; one is a part of household management, the other is retail trade: the former necessary and honorable, while that which consists in exchange is justly censured; for it is unnatural, and a mode by which men gain from one another. The most hated sort, and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural object of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term interest, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of any modes of getting wealth this is the most unnatural.”
