![]() When we start feeling it again it s so strangely unfamiliar just because it s such an essential part of us. It s like a limb that s been anaesthetized or that s been unused for a long, long time. But what s most unfamiliar of all is what s closest to us, and which we ve forgotten. Usually something is unfamiliar because it has no relation to us and we have no relation to it. ![]() And yet their significance reaches to the roots of our own being. The details will probably be unfamiliar, very unfamiliar. It might seem to be a story about things that happened a long time ago. If you read on you ll see it s all about deception about the total deception of the world we live in and about what lies behind. It s not what it seems, just as the things around us aren t what they seem. This book is neither fact nor fiction, it s about something stranger than both and compared to that, what we call facts are just a fiction. ![]() Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT).
