The apotheosis of Amphiaraos is a mighty savory myth.
Was it truly his fate that he must turn Athene against her favorite, whom she mean to apotheosize, thereby becoming a chthonic deity or cult hero himself?
Or did some other daimon somehow intervene, suborning his wife so she would persuade him to enlist in the expedition against Thebes?
