Subject: Rage Passion Hate. Its exactly like a greek tragedy - no, not that one!

I have but one answer so far. There are more I have ideas about, but it can wait. The game isnt moving too quickly is it?
I could be wrong, but rage, passion, hate. Another word for that would be menin right? The first word of the Illiad, and an indication of the central force of the poem.
So in answer to that, i would like to quote a excerpt of a study by Simone Adolphine:
"Force is as pitiless to the man who possesses it, or thinks he does, as it is to its victims; the second it crushes, the first it intoxicates. The truth is, nobody possesses it. The human race is not divided up, in the Iliad, into conquered persons, slaves, suppliants, on the one hand, and conquerors and chiefs on the other. In this poem there is not a single man who does not at one time or another have to bow his neck to force."

So how close is this?
