Abstract

Much of the analysis of The Birth of Tragedy surround the Apollonian and Dionysian impulses that, in communion, would have originated Greek tragedy. When they refer to the Apollonian, the traditional explanation concentrates on some characteristics like beauty, appearance, ethics and dream. However, Nietzsche's first book presents a series of periods related to Apollo that deviates from its posterior interpretive tradition. One of the most obvious is the Doric period that I use here to demonstrate a unmeasured Apollo in The Birth of Tragedy against its usual characterization as a beautiful and ethical god.
