About this listen
Apotheosis and its opposite, euhemerism: the making of real historical events into fables, transforming the memory of what were once real people into gods, and the reverse cultural process whereby fables are rewritten as if they had been real historical events, with the gods and allegorical figures being increasing remembered as if they had been real historical figures in retrospect. These concepts are rarely applied to the history of Buddhism, and when they are, they raise questions that are uncomfortable for skeptics and true believers alike.
