Dolina reads the Bible as if it were an apocryphal text someone forgot to classify: with philological curiosity, without reverence, and with an erudition that dismantles certainties without needing to be scandalized. The Three Wise Men weren't kings, there weren't three of them, and they probably weren't magicians—and that's just the beginning.

The compilation begins with a meticulous review of the legendary construction of the Magi, moves through a biblical bestiary that recovers the most improbable creatures of Scripture, and arrives at Samson as a Hebrew mirror of Hercules, with all that this comparison implies about how peoples create their heroes. In between appear Edward II of England and Elizabeth, and Ivan the Terrible with his own Elizabeth, as if political power and cruelty were also a form of mythology that repeats itself.

The panel discussion of *La Venganza Será Terrible*—with Dolina, Jorge Dorio, and company—turns the early morning hours into a seminar where no one asked permission to think differently.
