    Has there been any serious research into 700 BCE buttock decorating? Asking for a friend.

            From the whole paragraph, that would be 70 sons.

            Makes sense as Zeus was well known for his affairs with mortal women using various disguises.

    I always interpreted this as a willful mistranslation considering what a granary looks like.

      Back in the day being rich means owning lots of land and harvesting lots of crops from it. Grain means money.
