A Primer on Neo-Aegean Society

Dear Readers,

My working life right now is consumed by study of these stories and myths from the neo-Aegean culture, and so in coming days you may expect to find more materials from that data set. Therefore, I thought you might like to hear a little of what we know so far.

Much remains unclear about this society. We can tell that it will be (I use the tense appropriate to your era) polytheistic and somewhat naive of science. Likewise, we're aware that it will not be on Earth, where your culture resides. From these details, I am willing to surmise that it will also have very different moral norms from the culture that you live in.

I place the dating for neo-Aegean culture more than a millennium into your future. This is not a precise figure, but it does give you a rough idea of how different their society will be. Furthermore, what evidence we have so far gives strong indication that their lifestyle and beliefs have roots in your Ancient Greek society. The University takes great interest in this, of course, because our Empire's forbears were Hellenistic, and so we may have found a resurgence of our ancestors, long in your future, around a distant star. I find this very exciting. The biggest question about them is: Why?

Always,

Dr. John Skylar
