    Acknowledged by Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy‚ conventional wisdom has it that the Dionysian spirit is characterized by its insanity whereas the Apollonian one is typified by its rationality. These features appear in one of Euripides’ plays where Medea‚ princess of the Kingdom of Colchis‚ kills her own child by hand. The point of the argument is; did she do it on purpose or not?

    based off mythological events. Unfortunately‚ this had lead to many speculative accusations and criticisms‚ as is the case with Senecan tragedies versus their Greek counterparts. Senecan and Greek interpretations of the plays Oedipus‚ Agamemnon‚ and Medea bear similar themes‚ being the inescapability of fate and dikê‚ and the lack of clarity between right and wrong. Nevertheless‚ they differ culturally‚ politically‚ and philosophically due to the differences in society as well as the eras in which the

    One of the most famous episodes involving this trick was when Apollo ridiculed the skills of Eros as an archer and fired one of the arrows at the great god. This made them fall in love with nymph Daphne. Another is when he made Medea fall in love with the great hero Jason. The god was not himself immune to the powers of love and famously fell for and married Psyche against the wishes of his mother Aphrodite. Eros was also considered as the protector of homosexual love.

    least‚ I also like this book because it is action-packed and it relates a lot to Greek mythology. I was always interested about the gods and goddesses. This novel could improve if the author hasn’t put too much unnecessary information. Like when Jason described how he NEEDS to fight Enceladus‚ it was not needed.
