Maybe there is no word or describable quality for it. Maybe it just, well, is.

I suppose that ancient Greeks and Egyptians, as known to us (and as davem pointed out, it is only half of what they probably were), are too "mathimatical" and "scientific" for Faerie. In Faerie, things happen more spontaneously, or maybe more because they just need to happen, and not because something made them happen. I don't know.

I don't think I ever thought of any ancient civilizations - or "lack of such" - as Faerie. I think my Faerie is in books. Non-scientific books.
