Sure she does. So does Rigoglio. He's well aware that the gods walked 
among them as men. What of it?
Do you really believe Mamelta was unique in not having her memory altered?

That's the way _all_ the sleepers remembered the Typhon family-- as 
gods. The sleepers had no real advantage over the wakers.

And don't forget Cilinia. If you're trying to convince yourself, I don't 
think you needed any help. I don't see Wolfe's writings the way you do. 
I don't think you get him, but apparently his works can be enjoyed on 
that level.
