No amount of whitewashing is going to fix that. Almost half of them in-fact celebrate it.

    So basically, anti slavery pleased God but pro slavery pleased Cato which would be a reference to all people with moral integrity in this case.

    My interpretation is correct?

      While the modern monotheistic God is thought of as inherently good and right, the Greek gods were frequently bad and immoral. I think the implication is that though fate or whatever powers that be made them lose, they were right and moral.

        Oh that’s right, I hadn’t thought about the morals of the Greek gods being questionable, but it still implies that the creator saw slavery as being moral, which is pretty sick…
