Wow! I'm so glad you brought that one up, it is significantly more rare than those that I did but is perfectly suited to what I was trying to refer to also, really great reference!

I'll write something in another thread soon as to at least two chains of ideas where conspiratorial thinking may be traced throughout literary history which impacted the whole world. I hope to also include some genres that I think are related though they might not be suspected as having any connection at first to conspiracy, though I see them as intertwined from a very early period, namely Romance and Love Stories, but also Tragedies and as commonplace in two of the most influential ancient religious groups at a certain point in history, the Greeks, Macedonians, and Greco-Romans, and the Persians, particularly Zoroastrians, both of which (Greeks and Persians or Zoroastrian adjacent groups) seemed to have an impact on Buddhism, Hindu Epics, and impacted all the way into Tang China, reaching Japan. Meanwhile the Hellenistic paranoia spread throughout the Near East and Europe, impacting just about all European thinking and literature before and after Pauline Christianity and Zoroastrian influenced Gnosticism took ideas that may have already had a long and early start with the way in which the Iliad gets people thinking.
