| At a quick first read, this came across as not much more than
| just a list of lesser-known siblings of famous classical
| mythological figures. The author mentions Jung and sibling
| rivalries in one sentence at the end, but doesn't really go
| anywhere with this idea. Is there any point here that I missed? I
| kind of get the vibe that an author with writers' block and a
| deadline spent about half an hour squeezing a classical
| dictionary to get something just passable as an essay.
