 * 1) 1. Dionysius – Greek god of revelry (partying), chaos, and wine. Festival tragedies were written in his honor.
 * 2) 2. Apollo – Greek god of reason, music, math, order, and the Sun. His priests and priestesses at Delphi could answer questions about the future, but the answers weren’t always clear!
 * 3) 3. fate – Ancient Greeks believed that every person had a fate or destiny that was determined before birth. This destiny was determined by the Three Fates, mystical women who spun, measured, then cut off the thread of life.
 * 4) 4. hubris – excessive pride. This Greek concept implies stepping beyond the role set for the person by the gods (often trying to outsmart the gods – bad idea!)
