1989 (Marine's Version) (Christmas Red Edition) (npub1gv9…66j8) Well the presence of Akhenaten could be considered a commentary on the irony of the quest to purge idolatry,("idolising them") since the whole point was to depict the sun directly instead of an anthropomorphicised god of the sun, but in doing so they just made an idol of the sun's disc itself. If it were just gods in the list I'd consider it more on this kind of level (in which case Set's inclusion would still be ironic because his images were actively purged a few times) but the presence of human figures (seemingly with great hubris) like Agamemnon makes me think it's more of a moral judgement?
This is assuming it makes any sense at all
