About This Novel
The old Greeks were "free citizens" in a small "city state"; they had large groups of slaves working for them to handle all the nasty little things necessary for life, so they had a lot of time to develop literature and art. Because they are "free citizens" in a small "city" and they are acquaintances who often meet each other, so when their writers and artists start writing, sculpture and painting, they will never forget who will criticize their works. Therefore, they will never fail to think of how to make their works understood by fellow villagers who are also "free citizens". He knew very well that his fellow villagers worked vigorously and lively. Although they believed that everything was controlled by "fate", they would never be so worried or motionless because of it. They always wanted to enjoy life before they died, but they also had a "moderate" character, and "balance" was their ideal. Because he knew all this, he expressed it in his works.
