Interesting, the choice of Deganawidah-Quetzalcoatl was chosen,
a mixture of Iroquois and Aztec figures of wisdom.

Much as Athena was to the ancient Greeks, the Academy, began as
an olive grove dedicated to the cult of Athena, goddess of wisdom
who eclipsed the cult of Zeus in Athens.
Some might say we still worship at the alter of the cult of Athena.
Patron of Homers Odysseus, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

A cult which dominates the western world, that still struggles
against the cults of Zeus and Dionysus for dominance of the western
way of thinking.

Thanks John, I hear DQ university has since closed due to funding.
