The Greatest Knowledge, in my estimation, is to acknowledge God as God. To me, this is the Greatest Knowledge available to mankind.
I think the greatest knowledge all humans possess is our mortality. Unfortunately what comes out of that knowledge ain't all that great at times.
The Greatest Knowledge I would submit that the greatest knowledge is personal awareness of the power of love and learning to connect with it and utilize it in every aspect of daily life.
Thanks for asking... I'll try to explain the best way I can... Let's say that if the very 'top' of your knowledge is a True knowledge, such as 2 + 2 = 4, then math is easy and can be understood from that one basic truth. The same applies with God. If the very 'top' of the knowledge of LIFE is a True Knowledge, that God is God, then all things pertaining to life can be understood from that one basic Truth. However, if the very 'top' of the knowledge is a 'false' knowledge, such as 2 + 2 = 3, then math would be much more difficult to understand. And if the very 'top' of the knowledge pertaining to LIFE is false, such as 'there could be a God and there could NOT be a God', then Life can be more difficult to understand. Besides, the statement, there could be a God and there could NOT be a God, is an Oxymoron. It contradicts itself. AND if you are able to prove that 2 + 2 = 4, then you can verify it for yourself instead of having to take the 'word' of another to be true. And a way to verify it yourself is by having the 'top' of the knowledge to be that each hand, healthy/whole hand, has 5 fingers. And with this basic knowledge, that everything that falls under the True Knowledge, would be easier to understand, it can be applied to the Science fields also.. Medicine, for example. The True knowledge might be that the human body has a way of healing itself in basic ailment conditions. And if the human body is made to be able to regenerate and multiply cells and continue to function through the autonomic nervous system, then it would prove beneficial to think that there might be 'other' cures to natural ailments/diseases using non man made, more natural, introductions into the body which is ailed. Aspirin, or tree bark, is not Tylenol. In fact, acetaminophen, contains polymers that could be used in bonding batteries of cars and silicon with. In fact, the polymers used in Acetaminophen is used, in manufacturing plants, to bind certain silicone and batteries. Also in all other Science fields as well. So with the basic knowledge that acetaminophen contains unnatural polymers, a person can come to the understanding that acetaminophen is more of a 'man made' product than a natural product such as the bark of a tree. They both can help with minor pain and discomfort but they are from completely different 'families'. The tree bark can 'strip' the lining of the small intestine if used in too large of an amount, which would make sense seeing that if you ate a whole bunch of tree bark, it would probably do the same. And the acetaminophen can cause the liver, which breaks down the chemicals of ingested chemicals, damage if used in too large amounts. The liver has an easier time breaking down natural ingredients rather than synthetic ones since the liver itself is natural and not synthetic.
If you personally know Zeus, I guess you can... Even Zeus outdates our generation by thousands of years. How can any today say they know 'Zeus' as if they have lived with him in real life?
i don't recall Zeus being anything more than a Statue.. If there were no statues or dedicated temples to Zeus, would people even still remember his name today? And if The Holy Bible was taken off the face of the Earth, would that mean that 'forgiveness' was also taken off the face of this Earth? Or would we still receive our due rewards when we get to stand before God to receive our rewards??? What was done has already been done.. Calvary has already taken place. His Blood was already shed. There is nothing anybody can do to have that as if it didn't happen. If noone remembers, God will remember... Besides, if Zeus was all loving, then he wouldn't mind forgiving... And he'd thank Jesus for bringing many children to Him.. So this is the 'Love' aspect about God.. Now what about the Truth an So sure... maybe all the gods can fully 'love'.. But who can fully be Just? And who can fully be Truthful? And who can fully be Right? And who can fully be Giving? And who can fully be All Knowing? Who??? All of them??? What other attributes do you attribute to God as if HE should have them? Surely God would not want every single person on Earth to be porn stars, would He? That would go AGAINST some people's morals.
You are mixing up salicylic acid, which comes from willow bark (among other things) and acetylsalicylic acid, which is aspirin. Acetylsalicylic acid is created from salicylic acid, but it does not exist naturally. Also, the salicylic acid it is made from is not from willow bark (it would take whole forests just to make a bottle of aspirin) it is created from sodium phenoxidein and carbon dioxide. The idea that something "natural" is better/safer/more effective thn something "unnatural" is total fantasy.
The compound from which the active ingredient in aspirin was first derived, salicylic acid, was found in the bark of a willow tree in 1763 by Reverend Edmund Stone of Chipping-Norton, England. (The bark from the willow tree—Salix Alba—contains high levels of salicin, the glycoside of salicylic acid.) Earlier accounts indicate that Hippocrates of ancient Greece used willow leaves for the same purpose—to reduce fever and relieve the aches of a variety of illnesses. During the 1800s, various scientists extracted salicylic acid from willow bark and produced the compound synthetically. Then, in 1853, French chemist Charles F. Gerhardt synthesized a primitive form of aspirin, a derivative of salicylic acid. In 1897 Felix Hoffmann, a German chemist working at the Bayer division of I.G. Farber, discovered a better method for synthesizing the drug. Though sometimes Hoffmann is improperly given credit for the discovery of aspirin, he did understand that aspirin was an effective pain reliever that did not have the side effects of salicylic acid (it burned throats and upset stomachs).

Thank you for making my point. Natural salicylic acid from willow bark burns throats and upsets stomachs, while the man-made acetylsalicylic acid is much safer.
