• 
  
  an Egyptian pharaoh in the sixteenth century B.C.,
  可能宣扬过一神论
• 
  
  I think, might have claim to have some such state.
  但我认为可能性不大
• 
  
  But otherwise, there is no such thing.
  但除此之外 再没有这样的情况
• 
  
  So, this is a polytheistic society
  因此 这是个多神崇拜的社会
• 
  
  with heroic characteristics.
  有着英雄式的人物
• 
  
  That is, this kind of aristocratic outfit, aristocracy of birth,
  也就是说 由于他们在战场上的英雄行为
• 
  
  which is legitimized by heroic behavior on the battlefield.
  他们的贵族的身份和贵族出身是被认可的
• 
  
  Now, one of the things the Greeks believed,
  在希腊的一位大诗人的一首诗中
• 
  
  as we discover from a poem written by one of their major poets,
  我们发现了他们所信奉的一件事情
• 
  
  is something so far as I know unique to the Greeks.
  据我所知 这一点是希腊所特有的
• 
  
  They claimed that they were of the same race as the gods,
  他们认为自己和神明是同一个种族
• 
  
  and I really don't know of anybody else who made that claim.
  我确实不知道还有另外的人有过这样的说法
