The Ancients
Elektra: Revenge in Ancient Greece

The gods have commanded, the vengeance has been taken. And that's his story. In Euripides, what you get is a resolution which comes out of the blue because the other siblings, Castor and Polydeuces, who are also divine characters appear and they say, look, this is what's going to happen.

Elektra: Revenge in Ancient Greece

This is called the deus ex machina, the god from the crane, because they'll be hoisted aloft like divine beings. And so there is no resolution on the human level. When those things look intractable on the human level, then the tragedians who like using this particular deus ex machina bring in the gods to say, look, Okay, guys, this is what's going to happen.

Elektra: Revenge in Ancient Greece

Elektra, you are going to marry Orestes' friend Pylades, and if happily ever after, Orestes, you are going to be judged for your crime. And so they make the resolution to the play. To us, it's a very unsatisfactory idea that a Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. There seems to be an unpass.

Elektra: Revenge in Ancient Greece

This Philoctetes is meant to get to Troy with his bow, but it's not going to happen because he won't be persuaded and he can't be taken there by force, or the bow can't be taken there by force. And then you get the god on the machine, in that case Apollo, the god on the crane, coming in and saying, look, this is what's going to happen. He's going to go to Troy. He's going to bring his bow with him.

Sorry, in that case it's Herakles who appears and says, my bow will be taken to Troy. So you get these... Und Euripides war stolz auf dieses Gerät. Er hat es in seinen Orestes benutzt. Das ist, wo Apollo aufsteht. Und hier, in seinem Elektra, produzieren die Kasten von Apollonius eine Lösung für etwas, was eine sehr schwierige emotionale Situation für die Kinder aussieht.

Yes, so Jung und Freud initially were collaborators and Freud came up with his... Oh, Freud's Edifice Complex, my apologies. Freud came up with Edifice Complex and elaborated it at some length because he felt that the Sophocles play gave us a model for thinking about infant mental development.
