Reply to comment by Ibalegend in TIL the milky way was named as such because of Hera's breaskmilk...An infant Hercules tried to nurse from her, and she threw him off. Allowing some milk to splash and creating the galaxy and all its stars... by Themakia

Roman and Greek versions of the mythos perhaps

no, as in there were multiple versions in Ancient Greece because it was a living religion that changed by region and time

I wasn't saying yes or no. And you basically just affirmed my statement. I was saying there are multiple versions across the entire hellenistic period. And not one version is the true or original that we can absolutely say for a fact is the first.
