It's always a delight (ששון) to hear from Sasson (ששון). Sephardic name. Never met a Sephardic person who wasn't into kabbalah (except scholars of course). Even eating at a Sephardic home can be kabbalistic.

Worth noting: Sasson presents this as within Mesopotamian [[not Greek]] tradition etiological stories.
