This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Also, different from the resurrected Zeus whose grave(s?) was displayed to
pilgrims at Crete. I believe **this** comes into to play in "The Long Sun"
with Pas' reputed death.

The report of Pan's death comes from Plutarch. See the final note on "Pan
His Nature and Deeds" in Graves' "The Greek Myths" for details on this.
