Given the tragic realism of my dreams, I am certain Euripides would have appreciated my services as his muse.
With the rhythmic strokes on my lyre, I could have sung some reason into his writing …
“Another leap of faith? Really?” “Seriously, it ends like that…again?” “Yes, I understand the plot device.” “But some may believe it’s possible.” “You ought to clear your head. You need a fresh perspective on things.” “Get out of this cave, and take a walk in to Peristeria.” “Stop thinking about what Aeschylus would have done. “Take it easy on the retsina.”
Of course, this entire scenario would have been a real tragedy.
