Challenging the traditional and static distinction made between archaic and later Greek culture, this study provides a model of cultural change in Greek antiquity. The author's perspective is grounded in a dialectical understanding of values whose dominance depends on cultural emphasis and which shifts through time. Building upon the scholarship of an earlier volume, "Dionysus Rebor", Spariosu here continues to draw on Dionysus - the "God of many names," of both poetic play and sacred power - as a mythical embodiment of the two sides of the classical Greek mentality. Combining philosophical reflection with close textual analysis, the author examines the divided nature of the Hellenic mentality in such primary canonic texts as the "Iliad", the "Odyssey", the "Theogony", "Works and Days", the most well-known of the pre-Socratic fragments, Euripides' "Bacchae", Aristophanes' "Frogs", Plato's "Republic" and "Laws", and Aristotle's "Poetics" and "Politics".
