I just finished the chapter on the Homeric Hymn as an example of propaganda between competing cults, but the stuff I liked best was the Hesiod chapter. He outlines Hesiod as the "first nostalgic reactionary of Western Civilization" and presents the misogyny-laden account of Pandora as Hesiod's complaint on modern culture (Also the Metis story), explaining why Hermes might've ended up in the "Satan" role there.
