Summarize the lines spoken by the chorus, and explain what the passage reveals about the beliefs of the ancient greek people. chorus: o eros, the conqueror in every fight, eros, who squanders all men’s wealth, who sleeps at night on girls’ soft cheeks, and roams across the ocean seas and through the shepherd’s hut— no immortal god escapes from you, nor any man, who lives but for a day. and the one whom you possess goes mad. even in good men you twist their minds, perveing them to their own ruin. you provoke these men to family strife.

Eros was the Greek god of physical attraction—the son of Aphrodite.  What this passage is basically is a description of Eros and his influence over man.  What this says about the beliefs of Greek people is that they probably believed there was not much that could overcome the temptation of the flesh so much so that men would “squander” their wealth because of it.  They believed none (immortal god nor man) could escape carnal desire because it exists everywhere—from the “open seas” to the “shephard’s hut.”  They believed that even good people are prone to give in to the temptation of Eros to the point where they could be driven crazy and to the point where families could be ruined.  In the Greek belief system, none were immune to the temptations of Eros.

The lines spoken by the Chorus are depicting Eros and use figurative language to communicate his importance. This reveals the following about the beliefs of the ancient Greek people: they believed Eros, the god of physical attraction, had an ultimate influence on all of mankind. Eros tempted all, and none were spared.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
