...evening. The opera, generally speaking, is not up to the standard of Arouson's former plays. The first act especially is slow and void of interest.

Mercy is the predominating quality of all Greek gods and goddesses, of Apollo, Aesculpius, Dionysus, and Demeter. The religion is polytheistic, but its polytheism is more monotheistic than monotheism, for each state in Greece was independent, and each one having its pet divinity, each divinity was all-powerful...
