I have read that ancient Greeks tended to belong to the “cults” of individual gods in addition to worshipping the pantheon generally. Was there sectarian conflict between the various cults? Would a guy in the cult of Hephaestus have beef with one from the cult of Aires?

My grandfather told me that in the 1970s, “made in Japan” was a shorthand for cheap, crappy products like “made in China” is today. Is this true? If so, what made perceptions of the quality of Japanese manufacturing change so radically?
