    What has four legs in the morning, two at midday, and three in the evening.

    The answer was man- who crawls as a child, walks upright as an adult, and hobbles on a cane once elderly.

    I love mythology and literature. This is my favorite subject in college, but unfortunately, I do not always know the answers to all questions, and in this case I resort to the help of https://studyhippo.com/essays-on/home/ of this educational platform.

    Was it not because Sophocles managed to live a long and happy life, because he was able to combine two Apollonian and Dionysian sources (he wrote tragedies as a present to Dionysus, and built an altar to Asclepius (Apollo’s hero) at home)? And then what prevented Freud from finding this harmony? And how can a person unite these two opposing and warring beginnings? And can two completely different archetypes, Hermes and Dionysus (a trickster and a madman), coexist in the psyche?
