Dionysus--god of deconstruction and undoing
Eros--feels the drop of oil from the lamp when Psyche looks upon her lover. He wakes up and runs to mother, Aphrodite.
The great donkey stories: Don Quixote (Donkey Hotay)
both a comedy and romance:
-lives in his imagination
-rest of novel done in realistic setting
-endures most the most cruel acts and inhumanity from rest of humanity
