this information was found in a book called " Don't Know Much About Mythology" By: Kenneth C. Davis....
" The belief that all of the Greek myths were based on actual events was used by early Christians to dismiss what they called pagan mythology as a purely human invention. In other words, Christians argued that the Greek gods - who were later adapted by the Romans - were not divine at all, and everyone should acknowledge the one true Christian God.*
(at the bottom of the page it reads)
*The word "pagan," which has come to broadly mean anyone who is not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, was originally coined by early Christians in Rome and meant "country dweller" and "civilian," in the sense that pagans were not member of the so-called army of God."
this is all on page 35... the book is actually a good read.. but still smile .. hope this helps... or at least clarifys something for someone smile ...
