A Brief Chronology
In 1946, Robert Graves published “King Jesus, an historical novel based on the theory and Graves’ own historical conjecture that Jesus was, in fact, the rightful heir to the Israelite throne… written while he was researching and developing his ideas for The White Goddess.”
In 1948, C. S. Lewis finished the first draft of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, a novel in which one of the main characters is “the White Witch.”
In 1948, Robert Graves published The White Goddess.
In 1949, Robert Graves published Seven Days in New Crete [also titled Watch the North Wind Rise], “a novel about a social distopia in which Goddess worship is (once again?) the dominant religion.”
Lewis died on November 22, 1963, the day John F. Kennedy was killed.

This speaks to me on a level, I choose not to delve, for I suspect it would send me right to the edge of madness. Possibly over. {v}
