Another parable

 The Parable of the Daughters and the Angels

Zeus woos Alcmene.

Genesis 6:1-7

Then, he said:

     “Is the kingdom of God like this? God made them, and they had daughters; and the daughters were so fair the angels desired them. And as the angels’ desire followed the daughters, so taking the daughters followed their desire. But the fault was not in the angels; it was in them and their daughters – so God determined; and God determined as well that their lives would be limited – theirs and their daughters’. No human would live more than 120 years.

     “Meanwhile, the daughters taken by the angels had children, and their children were tall and strong and afraid of nothing. When God saw they feared nothing, he was sorry that he had made man and woman and their fair, fair daughters. And God decided to cover the earth with the waters that covered the earth before creation – and man and woman – began.

     “I see you have ears. Are they hearing me?”
