Pavlos, you're in Greece, aren't you?

I took a college course called "Women in Antiquity." I learned that in ancient Greece, when women got pregnant out of wedlock, they would say that a god had impregnated them, so that instead of being looked at as a bastard, their child would be favored as a demi-god.

And wasn't the New Testament written in Greek?

Thanks,
Andrea
