Don't worry Anon
I read all of the Greeks when starting university and years later, as we speak, I just read your post and I have trouble recalling what does this refer to anyway.

Oh, this one is about his real death, not some myth or metaphor created later and carried through literature. A quick Wiki check lets you catch up on that.

That's what I ended up doing lol. Not certain I would've learned about him through the Greeks of course, I haven't read them! I know enough mythology to get the references made by philosophers, but I would like to go back and read Greek philosophy since it's so seminal
