How accurate is the book "Siddhartha"? : r/Buddhism
"The main character of Siddhartha isn't even meant to be the Buddha. It's a novel about a guy with the same name who lived at the same time. Some events seem to be drawn from the Buddha's life, but at one point, Siddhartha (the character) meets the Buddha.
It's a novel about a spiritual journey. Don't look to it for an accurate depiction of Buddhism."

word: Enthusiasm

 God Within | Religious Studies Center

“Enthusiasm” has a fascinating etymology and an equally fascinating intellectual history. It comes from the Greek enthousiasmos, which consists of the root words “theos” (god) and “en” (in). Thus “enthusiasm” literally means “God within.” I like that. To be enthusiastic is to be inspired or, more precisely, possessed by God. In ancient Greece, enthusiasm connoted a sort of divine madness.
