Well, I once knew the Entekosiad better than I do now. It is still my favourite single Gloranthan work, I think.

FWIW, I don't think any of my opinions have changed hugely since then. I'd still say that the various 'Monster Man' gods are essentially the same divine power manifest, and likewise the various Lodril gods, but that extending that identity any further would be misleading.
