Heracleitus

500 B.C.

Heracleitus was a philosopher. He came from a noble family and was known as "the obscure one" by his contemporaries.

He is known for his ideas that revolve around all things, all matter, being in a constant state of flux. Everything is constantly changing.

We can relate "Harry" to Dionysus in this way:

Harry believes that the origin of all things is...FIRE! (Now see if you can make the connection)

HINT:

(Remember when you read about the nymphs raising Dionysus and how it was said that he was born of fire?)

Let's return to the poem
