The picture derived from these sources is largely accurate,
-
but I would argue that
-
it does not fit in well with what we learn
-
from the evidence of a wholly different set of sources.

First of all,
-
what we see in the pictorial art chiefly in vase paintings,
-
and even more strikingly I think,
-
in what we learned from the
-
tragedies, and the comedies
-
that were performed every year at two great festivals in Athens.
-
Finally, these things derive very much from the mythology,
-
which is after all their religious tradition of the Athenians.
