Condition:
Sacrificial childrearing generates but also threatens agonistic, glory-seeking ancient Greek cultures. Not only aggression but knowledge of sacrificial parenting must be purged. The epic represents in displaced form destructive mother-son and father-daughter liaisons and resulting strife within and between generations.
