This song is great because of the power of the imagery. What it does is it makes me imagine what it must have been like to actually believe with all your heart the tales of the mythical greek gods. Wow, what a trip! To actually believe that teh world was created by superpowerful gods with human-like qualities...it's a thought that has an intrinsic attractiveness though, especially when the gods are masculine. Plenty of women still act on a sort of belief in polytheism, but their gods are faeries or angels with only good intentions, e.g. to make your pregnancy go well. These gods are badasses with good and bad intentions. It would be pretty interesting if this kind of polytheism came back into style.
The second to last stanza is especially epic. What imagery!!! "minds in uni-thought?" FREAKY "Nigtmare dreams no mortal mind could hold?" WOAH This is some heavy shit, and fascinating! Way to go Bowie. This is Bowie's masculine side coming through.
