`  ok, this is more of the same. I have reviewed the Barber quote. This is a footnote in a book on mythography stating that Santillana von Dechend are to be thanked for the ``Herculean task`` of collecting raw material. That doesn't amount to an endorsement of their archaeoastronomical claims. It's a footnote saying where some of Barber's material came from, not a review of Hamlet's Mill. Much less does it go towards rehabilitating Rydberg in any way. This is getting silly. If Rydberg apologists are reduced to this sort of scraping together of references that can at all be construed into shedding some positive light on Rydberg's work, I do get the impression that Mr. Radford is being rather kind.   `
