Sir, - Hugh Linehan, in his comments on the "dumbing down" of European culture by movies such as Hercules (The Irish Times, October 11th), refers to Disney's offensive deletion of parts of the myth such as "the Aegean stables." Had Hugh Linehan lived in those times, I suspect that King Augeas of Elis would have asked Zeus to blast him for his impertinence! - Yours, etc.,
