People seem very emotional in ancient fiction, especially men. Always getting mad, jealous, vengeful & what not. & then they can't control their feelings & start wars & kill people.

Tomfoolery33 replies on Oct 23, 2018:

But as they point out in the article, these are stereotypical emotional reactions, with no characterization of the thought process behind them. You know--someone attacks your country, and you get mad and kill them. There's no complexity or internal dialogues that might reveal the way these emotions came about.
