"experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love.


Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will


At least the ancient Greeks were being honest."
