Thyestes and Atreus: an eye upon the evil


The Greek story tells us, in whispers almost, some strange events that, notwithstanding its bestial characteristics, are sadly human, intertwined in oür essence as species.


Why or how everything can begin with someone's nature, preferrably inclined to the ëgoïsm and the self-sufficience: question. What is the mystery of evil?

The behaviors (ours), understood under a humanistic more than religious perspective, they talk to us near, in our ear, and about some subliminal characteristics of the human evil; and no: nobody's able to understand them.


Sometimes the capacity to perceive is blurred.




I been thinking about some ways of (cosmic equilibrium), I have seen some ways of cosmic equilibrium getting developed subtly that I am not able in this moment to attribute them to something in concrete as source or origin.


The darwinian laws are certainly right in many regards; but I am meaning something else; something that keeps those very laws working by themselves without reaching the collapse: what is the mechanism of the "evil"; and more importantly yet: what is the mechanism of the lack of evil?

Behind these antique Greek tales, there is always a second sight; something that seems not to be concerned in the tale itself, but which unconsciously is concerned; some veiled truths, a deep psychologic or psychopathic vein: where our empathy or remorse comes from?

I have more questions than answers about this point.









It gets complicated when the whole scenario, gets influenced under a mental disease: was Seneca a demented? Was the rhetorically constructed figure of Herakles based on an insane?
Herakles, not Seneca.


Or perhaps many of these behaviors are just product of what I'd call "the evil eye"? The bad eye.


I won't admire these Greeks and their agonal doubtful madness just because: there is much madness involved in all this.
I am just remarking some pieces of bloody flesh that they threw at us; and which, until the day of today remain enigmatic.



Once again I ask: where, where the beast begins and the hüman ends?
