Greek Gods wouldn't make much sense in the sims world. Pass.
Ancient Greece had a thing for those old gods, a few tales told like Charybdis and Scylla which has given rise to the modern "rock and hard place" meaning. Odyssey told a tale of king Odysseus's apparent death and his journey back home, he finds allies as he overcomes challenges ahead of him and kills all these men looking to claim his wife after they hear of this apparent death, that poem is one of the most important stories in human history though.
it would seem fitting to celebrate our historical past as much as where our future goes. but yeah, EA could do an imitation of their own and leave enough clues as to what it points to without it adding any religious significance to it.
I read the Oddesy and King Odysseus never did die. He just was away from his home for 20 entire years. 10 years in a war (The Illiad) and another 10 years trying to get home (mostly because he annoyed a particular Cyclopes Polyphemus). It only some people (ie Penople's 109 suitors) just assumed he was dead because its taken awhile for him to get home. I kind of like this greek hero, because he and (the earlier jerk hero Theseus) are the only two Greek heroes NOT directly related to a God. (Even though some soruces say his grandfather is Hermes-but not in anything I read)
