Nietzsche challenges the classical view of ancient Greeks as purely cheerful, revealing instead a tragic worldview. He introduces his theory of two opposing artistic forces embodied by the gods Apollo and Dionysus—the harmonious versus the ecstatic. Through analyzing Greek tragedy's birth and decline, the young philology professor presents bold cultural and aesthetic ideas that distanced him from traditional scholarship and influenced twentieth-century thought.
