This varies from the classical tale; however, it reminds us of the fact that Jupiter had great power with responsibility as King of all Gods but still shares human qualities such as emotions of love, lust and unfaithfulness. In comparison Zeus, which can be seen as the Greek parallel to Jupiter, also has a tendency to be unfaithful which causes the majority of events. Reading the story we are kept in the dark of who’s perspective it is for the most part, the only incite as readers is the statement that he or she is or was a friend of Juno’s and may possibly have a had a disagreement “Well, we all know what a bitch Juno can be when she’s mad. Look at what she did to me. I’m her friend”.

This shows that Sophocles had the view that divine authority had precedence over human authority. This aspect of the play is of interest to present day society as it touches on topical and controversial issues such as civil union between homosexual people. If we had the same beliefs in the present
The most interesting part of these myths has been the dynamic relationship and power sharing. It would also be unbiased to say, that in Greco-Roman myths, mortal and immortal women symbolize female subordination and unassertiveness to male power, and female rage as a fight against the existing power and the social order in the society. Philosophers and scholars, who are invariably the authors, show the predominant power of gods over the mortals by using already widespread myths to create fear in the minds of the people. Greco-Roman literature often defines power structures. Be it between general Men and Women, Husband and Wife or Kings and Gods.
One way that Stanton uses logos is "The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation of man and toward women, having indirect object the establishment of and absolute tyranny over her."

We should not get trapped in our stereotype, male and female. This kind of stereotyping just created by our society, by our culture.
Both poetry and music affect the listener in a sub rational fashion, and both are concerned with the communication of feelings rather than of knowledge. Plato begins his consideration of ‘music’ with ‘songs and tunes’ by declaring that these consisted of three elements: words, mode and rhythm. In a way, words are the common constituents of both poetry and music, and therefore Plato enjoined the same conditions for both. Therefore dirges, lamenting the dead are to be entirely prohibited. Similarly drinking songs which like poetry promote lavishness and moral laxity must be avoided.
The reading started out talking about a Babylonian Theogony where Hain, the ruler of Dunnu, was killed by his so that he could be the ruler and marry his mother.

Medea used dialogue when she spoke to Aegeus and told him to “Swear by the Earth on which you tread/Swear by the Sun, my father’s father dread/Swear by every god and godhead” to protect her. In the play there is also the use of song or melody, because Medea herself argues with the chorus multiple times; the chorus plays a very important part in the play because ultimately they help Medea make her final decision. The plot of the story is that Medea needs to escape from Corinth after the murders of multiple people. She then turned to Aegeus and who was willing to take her in Athens and protect her from harm, if she gave him children. Thought, as described by Aristotle is also demonstrated by Medea when she explained to Aegeus her plan to kill Jason’s new bride and her children, and the sheer hatred for Jason by Medea showed that anything is possible for a furious wife.
It is based on the Greek legend of Oedipus; a story where an Oracle prophesises that Oedipus (the son of King Laius and Queen Jocasta) would kill his father and marry his Mother. With this legend, Graham had the basis to compose one of her most emotionally charged works. As with many of her works, Graham manipulated the piece to make Jocasta the protagonist. She did this to allow the audience to focus entirely on the emotions being conveyed. Graham’s Night Journey tells of Jocasta’s destiny, the triumphal entry of Oedipus, their meeting, new love and intimacy and then their devastating discovery that their relationship is not of husband and wife, but actually of mother and son.
