Sorry to be late on this response, but I was also very fascinated with how Spenser continually mixes Protestant Christianity with Classical mythology. In our first few classes, I remember Professor Kitch saying that education was largely Classics-based and that Latin almost became the key language of all communication. Going off of that, it makes a little more sense to me how the Greek gods and Christian morals can co-exist (seemingly) harmoniously in this world. Just a speculation, but perhaps Classical mythology was seen less as actual “paganism” and regarded more casually as a part of popular culture that was not attached to any particular morality/belief system?
