    I agree, that is the meaning of the argument I posted above. Kekroporta was a myth. But I also tried to explain the significance of that myth.

    BTW, Kekroporta has nothing to do with any "port", -porta is the greek word for "door". So "Kekroport" or "Kekroporta" is a gate, not a port or a port door.
