my wee Dedicant self has had problems with the subject of specific divinities or pantheons. (i know i've complained about it on LJ before.) i'm starting to think that part of it may be that i simply haven't gotten in really deep with any - not in the modern, personal sense you're describing, at least.
at some point, given the opportunity and your inclination, i'd love to sit down and chat about exactly what you mean by "getting" the Greeks. if that's something you'd feel comfortable discussing with me, of course. it's a different perspective from the somewhat dry historical approach i've taken thus far...
