I have yet to get a response, but I may have not followed the "rules" correctly.

From: guidesSPLATmythosphere.org
To: myssfitz
Subject: Congratulations




It is impossible to understand a myth as a continuous sequence. This is why we
should be aware that if we try to read a myth as we read a novel or from left
to right, we don't understand the myth, because we have to apprehend it as a
totality and discover that the basic meaning of the myth is not conveyed by
sequence of events . . . but . . . by bundles of events even though these
events appear at different moments in the story. Therefore we have to read the
myth more or less as we would read an orchestral score . . . And it is only by
treating the myth as if it were an orchestral score, written stave after stave,
that we can understand it as a totality, that we can extract meaning out of the
myth.

What is the difference
between gods and humans?
That many waves before each
from an eternal stream
The waves lift us up;
the waves overcome us,
and we are swept away.

 		Different replies
We seem to get different replies (at least in the upper part of the text, that is). The "It is impossible to understand a myth as a continuous sequence" quote is from Vgl. Lévi-Strauss, Claude. «Myth and Meaning», New York 1978 (Schocken Books), S. 45. (look at http://www2.rz.hu-berlin.de/fpm/popscrip/themen/pst03/pst03060.htm#e55).

The second reply, with the text: "What is the difference between gods and humans?" (I got this one in my email), is a quote from Goethe (http://www.parkview.net/mainmenu/teachers/susangarber/mythology/Notes%20on%20World%20Mythology%20(sg).html).

Since I asked the same question as Myssfits and got another answer everything suggests that the answer is random. This make me doubt that this first part of the message is a new clue. Probably there just to create ambience... (or confusion for that matter)

The guides can not expect us to compare eight (or more) answers in unfiction. We do not have that kind of relation in gameplay.

The menhir-part on the other hand....
Has anybody figured out its origin?

In all ages man has tried to account for himself and his surroundings. He did
the best he could. He wondered why the water ran, why the trees grew, why the
clouds floated, why the stars shone, why the sun and moon journeyed through the
heavens. He was troubled about life and death, about darkness and dreams. The
seas, the volcanoes, the lightning and thunder, the earthquake and cyclone,
filled him with fear. Behind all life and growth and motion, and even inanimate
things, he placed a spirit -- an intelligent being -- a fetich, person,
something like himself -- a god, controlled by love and hate. To him causes and
effects became gods -- supernatural beings. The Dawn was a maiden, wondrously
fair, the Sun, a warrior and lover; the Night, a serpent, a wolf -- the Wind, a
musician; Winter, a wild beast; Autumn, Proserpine gathering flowers.
Poets were the makers of these myths. They were the first to account for what
they saw and felt. The great multitude mistook these fancies for facts. Myths
strangely alike, were produced by most nations, and gradually took possession
of the world.
