Description
Who here likes over-simplifying Nietzschean ideas?

*raises hand*

"Through Apollo and Dionysus, the two art deities of the Greeks, we come to recognize that in the Greek world there existed a tremendous opposition, in the origin and aims, between the Apollinian art of sculpture, and the nonimagisic, Dionysian art of music. These two different tendencies run parallel to each other, for the most part openly at variance; and they continually incite each other to new and more powerful births, which perpetuate an antagonism, only superficially reconciled by the common term "art"; till eventually, by a metaphysical miracle of the Hellenic "will," they appear coupled with each other, and through this coupling ultimately generate an equally Dionysian and Apollinian form of art--the Attic tragedy." -Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy. Trans. Walter Kaufmann.

Yes, I know they're abstract concepts engaged in an antagonistic relationship, but I am still going to draw them as a gay couple.
