Legendary Hero "? Never! Rogue on rogue king of fools with swords, cruel monster, in the depths of Hades will themselves be consumed his vicious gut, until their beatific annihilation, purification secret.
I know that the Thebans aims to become a hero to justify their warrior lineage and blessed. However, the only thing that justifies the system's internal pettiness Theban.
In the beginning, Cadmus, our villain, he longed to find his lost sister, Europa. That girl with that name calling is but the symbol of a portion of humanity whose roots are the same, a group of people born from a common source. The maiden represents many unrelated men. Cadmus sought their origins, each other lineage, the essence of his blood, his, the "purity of race."
He
beautiful ideal, however, fell apart when, ignoring the orders of his father, who was but the representation of the voice that reverberated in the red in his veins, he heard a fortune teller advised him to abandon the search had undertaken and pursued a cow for all Boeotia. Where the animal to stop, Cadmus had found a city. The cow is a symbol of abundance and wealth, material goods. Deposed his ideal in the pursuit of personal ambition, his own convenience, greed. Resigned to rediscover the power that would justify his being, that transcendent and common origin of their lineage, their siblings, to Europe, set themselves a new "Adam" the new gene pool of a human group. Decided to start again, erasing all traces of the past, forgetting in the darkness, just as they did some modern ideal through its "progressive." And he chose, as the seed of their city, wealth, abundance of material goods, power of matter, represented by the cow and milk production. That, incidentally, is in keeping with the materialistic system that prevails today.
Being in the place indicated by the cow, Cadmus sends his companions water supply Ares. What this represents is the origin of the military. The water symbolizes life, the nutrient that allows subsistence and Ares is the god of war. Our villain sends his companions into battle, to plunder, to impose its power, to submit, to sacrifice other peoples. He sends them to drink the water of Mars, live at the expense of the war, enlivened by the violence.
Fortunately, this source was protected by a dragon that wiped out everyone. This alludes to the death of his men in battle, to its failure. The Dragon represents the great calamity that is the war. Before moving to the depredations of war, it is necessary to confront the dragon that is prepended and protects life warrior, symbolizing the risk context, the serious dangers that this entails.
Later, unfortunately, Cadmus killed the dragon. This refers to overcome the dangers, to victory over the difficulties, the defeat of the great calamity that is the war. Cadmus was revenge his men and succeeded in the art of the military. Then his war intelligence, represented by Athena, induced him to sow dragon's teeth. Once done, they sprang from gunmen called Esparto. Dragon's teeth symbolize their lethal nature, the terrible poison dart, what, in the prelude to war, and has drawn thousands of people to be preyed upon by the evil force that precedes it. Dragon's teeth plant is to say that violence is cultivated. Once cultivated violence within the culture, this engenders people of that nature. Thus, Esparto symbolize merely cruel and bloodthirsty men, arm, ie with the resources to strike. Men hardened by cruelty.
However, having destroyed the Dragon of Ares, Cadmus had to serve the latter as a slave for several years. This image symbolizes slavery is to serve the war. The chains, traps, absorbs, and vices. Cadmus depended entirely on the violence, which is the same: it was his slave.
Finally, Cadmus became what it was: a vicious snake. This represents the attachment to the material plane of reality, beings of spirit last, the maximum possible degradation. The Champs Elysees are just an excuse to justify his alleged heroism before the crowds, which is refuted in the rest of the symbolism of the story.
The city of Thebes, because of its obscure origin, incidentally, suffer at the hands of a curse irresistible, because of fate, their own fate, perishing at the hands of their own people and expatriates, raised in horror. As we can see, the germ of evil that destroys where it sits. Who works incorrectly will reap what he sowed. And those who make a living at the expense of people's lives, including animals and plants, will lose his life the same way. Amid the string of Maya there is a secret inscription reads: "You, pilgrim, you lose everything you have, that does not belong in the same manner in which it got. Living is an act of sabotage. Every living creature is a killer and thief by nature, since it is nurtured by her weaker beings, so loaded with poison in his blood annihilation, which is nothing but death. "From there to live implies guilt. Thus infants are guilty. A force, an instinct, an instinct inside the encourages life, knowing beforehand, in the same trend, all its evil implications. Them, when born, death is not yet known nor has anyone ever seen, but the fear and flee, they instinctively avoiding the danger. In our nerves we know we have done wrong, in our tendons know, we know in our stomach, our intestines, so we present the presence of death in our guts, so we fear. The survival instinct is only the knowledge that the meat is vicious about his sin and his temporary escape punishment it deserves and it is inevitable. It is a vicious circle. When you pay what you owe, however, be free. Only redeem you die for another. Only give your life for others will save you. Only the sacrifice. Nothing but love. And this is what no living being, since he lives at the cost of feed on other creatures. Recognizes own gears of terror of existence. Recognizes their sadistic and twisted circuits swarms. Recognizes your order oblique obstinate. There is a presence that you have been denigrated to the point where these now. Made you fall too low. Enslaves you, binds you through pleasure and pain, through the anxieties and fear. Makes you prefer to you on the other creatures, to you about your relatives, you on the worker who failed to get the job that you won, you have lunch on chicken, you will dine on carrots, you will destroy the insects on each of your steps. You think you're powerful and that other creatures are inferior to you. That is not love. He that loveth not fix on its own superiority. The origin and evolution engine temporal and spatial cell separation and is debt. If each person should pay all it owes to others, the existence vanish like smoke. The debt begets movement. Thus, the gap is transferred from one organism to another, modifying it. Finally, the gap ends up destroying the things in which it alights. The debt increases the more you participate the vicious cycle of avoidance, which is manifested in the birth rate. Debt is the source of existence. If everyone should pay what they owe, everything would rest in eternity, everything would be no need to steal anything, it's all love in an undivided unity. But not everything in the universe is wrong. Good mixed with evil, finely woven of the same events, so indissoluble. The good that is filtered through that there is basted with evil. All right carries with it the seed of evil. All well that clears the seed absorbs existence of annihilation. All right that crosses existence is tainted by death. However, it is preferable to bad, because for a second, as a long bridge, connects us with the immaculate principle has not been corrupted by the existence.
