The world of the gods does not give either illusion or hope for positive or happy ending for mythical struggles. Some solutions appear to be ruthless and uncompromising, and probably these characteristics make Greek mythology so poignantly true. Mythical characters have to make desperate decisions, and solve problems that have no solution.
The mythical character’s behavior is sometimes difficult to understand. On the one hand, Tereus, who burned with a sexual desire to Philomela, disgraced her, cut off her tongue and closed her under guard. On the other hand, Philomela’s sister, Procne killed her son Itys to get revenge on her husband. Theseus, who loved Ariadne, abandoned her exposing to a certain death. Such examples could be many.
