章節(jié)摘錄

　　The Apollonian side of life is order, reason, truth, and virtue——important aspects oflife, but not the things that give you a rush.By contrast, Dionysus is the god of wine,revelry, risks, disorder, and freedom.　　Apollo was one of the few Greek godsnot renamed when brought into the Romanpantheon2. He was known as the god of light,medicine, music, and poetry. As protector of the nineMuses3, he was the guardianof all culture. As the god of theater, he inspired theplaywrights Sophocles4,Euripides5, and Aeschylus6, whose worksare still performed. Writers such as theseproduced new plays and poems for the an-nual festival of Dionysus. The theater thatwas dedicated to him in Athens still survives,though ticket sales are not what they used tobe. Various groves were sacred to Dionysus,and presumably all the nightclubs and all thegin-joints as well. Dionysus, as god of thegrape, has inspired the vintners art from DomPerignon7 to Thunderbird8.　　The classical Greeks believed that balancing your internal powers of Apollo and Dionysus brought you great personal strength.
