de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

"It is intriguing to again see the involvement of the gods in human affairs and the punishment they would inflict when men were not obedient to them. The birth of hybrids—half human, half animal beings—is also a common pattern in myths all over the world. Is it possible that those hybrids did exist, and if so, who where their creators? In most myths it appears that gods are directly related to their creation. If that’s true, how did they do it? On the other hand, we have conventional archaeology suggesting that these ‘primitive’ ancient peoples simply had a vivid imagination." - John Black
