I. Apollo, the Leech, if his aid they beseech, may cure
But then they must pay. (Pesisthetaerus of THE BIRDS)

A poet who can produce something really audacious
Like “Ether, the residence of Zeus’, or “the of time”, or
That business about the tongue being able to perjure it self
and the heart not being committed. (Dionysus of THE FROGS)
and
Have you eyes
And do not see your damnation? (Oedipus of OEDIPUS THE KIND)

Classical literature expresses a synthesis of unmitigated human embracing of history and realities.
Do you see realities as dynamic or does man end up at already defined human attitudes that some
call fiasco because it falls to take off and away from the foot of time.
II. Ovid’s Metamorphoses locates man’s need of self-understanding as is the case within the other authors you have studied. They look to have been governed by a need to provoke man into finding the right emotion. Sophocles looks more eligible than others to draw the contour of the right emotions not the misguided nor the misguiding ones that may seem fleeting or half formulated. Comment.
