Let’s face it, even today we cannot understand or explain much of what drives us. Take love for example. To say “she fell in love” is to describe a mystery. One might as well say, “Eros pierced her heart with his arrow,” as “gametes fizzed, hormones seethed, psychological affinities and sexual connections were made” . . . the gods in Greek myth represent human motives and drives that are still mysterious to us. Might as well call them a god as an impulse or a complex.
