"It's also important not to distort the classical view in a dumb way. You've asked another question about reinterpreting Medea and Jason. That's exactly it: reinterpretation. It's the human part of the heroes and characters that can be played with. It isn't, for example, necessary to assume that Medea loved Jason before coming to hate him. She could have been using him; she could have been under a different spell; she could have been a creation of the gods; she could have been a living corpse, functioning under the influence of Nemesis. But she could not have been from Sirius! Or the future."
