"For
Assyrian kings, the god Ashur … was proclaimed to be the true king, and
the human king was the god's regent. In other words, in the ancient
world, henotheism was a convenient method for imposing a king's
rule over subject peoples: one all-powerful god means one all-powerful
king as well." — A. C. Black, Canaan and Israel in Antiquity: An Introduction, 2001
"Wishing to find the roots of Jewish monotheism in the cult of Aten, Freud worked freely with ancient Egyptian henotheism: that is, the concept of the sun as one supreme divinity among many." — David Meghnagi, The International Journal of Psychoanalysis, 2014
