Např. Babylóňané věřili, že existují dva bohové – bůh dobra a světla a bůh zla a tmy, a že jsou spolu zaklesnuti ve smrtelném boji.
The Babylonians, for example, believed there were two gods, a god of good and light, and a god of evil and darkness, and that those two were locked in mortal combat. Cyrus, the great King of Persia, believed just this.
