"when the ancient Greeks developed language and wrote books, that is when they started to push down myths and replaced them with concepts like democracy and ethics and the rule of law." and slavery and phalanxes of pikemen and statues of mythological figures placed around temples dedicated to mythological figures. The rule of law, written or oral, is not a Greek concept. Written law is uneducated Babylonian. My tribe of ignorant migratory agrarians had oral law and a code of ethics before Greece existed. When they figured out how to write, they put them in the Torah, where you can still see them, accompanied by the obligatory myths.
