I can't fault that too much. As a kid I was obsessed with Clash of the Titans -- and, being a kid of course, had no idea how much of a meat-grinder the myths had been through. I also have a guilty pleasure in God of War.

I didn't even mention the book in my letter. Clueless authors using myths are pretty common -- even Neil Gaiman gave Bast the same treatment, and I'd met a Bast devotee before I read The Sandman.

I was more disappointed with the journalist. Maybe it was because Kevin Sylvester is new, but I kind of expect more from CBC journalists.

The "but did you know there still are worshippers of the Greek gods" question would've been a nice question to throw at said clueless author.
