Good, good. I've nothing against Russell, note, so long as he isn't claiming things that are obviously untrue, and the idea that the flat Earth dominated the Middle Ages is an important falsehood to debunk. I added the criticisms mainly because I ran across them while searching for details. In Greek Mythology, the world is definitely flat-flat, but it would be fair to say that in most Classical thought it was a curved disc on a sphere. I don't think anyone had much faith that there was stuff on the other side of the ocean.
