Thora Member	Posted My guess is that the 'forgotten' god who Wednesday meets in Las Vegas is Hades the Greek god of wealth and the underworld. That city, translated as 'the fertile valley' exists only to exploit greed and lust for money. It's easier on one's conscience to 'forget' the ruling force (or god) behind it.

Thora Member	Posted Hide Post Would you agree then that 'currency' has always existed in one form or another? Isn't sacrifice itself a form of currency? Also: What was Wednesday's plot?

Nereid Member	Posted Hide Post It can't be a Greek because of Shadow's reading Herodotus Histories. Herodotus's Histories was a book about how Greek gods were a part of Greek life and it retells history like that: it's a metaphor to the plot of American Gods.

Posted Hide Post I vote for luck - again (I know I did it on some other thread, but I can't find it, dammit!!). I don't see what currency would have to do with scanning the fatelines to enable the waitress to meet up with the guy who needed/wanted someone like her. Yes, money was going to be involved eventually, but the meeting itself - that she was going to be in the right palce at the right time - was luck. - Cho _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You are a Confectioner.

Posted Hide Post The Roman goddess of luck, Fortune would be a pretty good bet here. Probably masquerading as a cocktail waitress at Caesar`s. I`ve always liked cocktail waitresses. Hard put on but tirelessly polite. Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. ~ Oscar Wilde Sometimes it is said that man can not be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? ~ Thomas Jefferson
