Quiet Man Cometh
We're all mad here.
Yeah, but apparently Ovid was a little more blatant about it. I don't really know. I have never really paid much attention to the Greek and Roman playwrites, beyond a couple reditions of
The Iliad
. I just know -vicariously mind you- that the story of Apollo and Daphne doens't normally feature Cupid. That was Ovid's doing.
Not so much fallible I think, as being laughable at the same time. He would turn them into fools. Not being exactly respectful in his treatment of the deities, he likely pissed a lot of people off. Most of academia it would seem.
Tea?
