Greek mythology
“Formerly Zeus himself had ruled over men, but Hermes created a confusion of human speech, which spoiled Zeus' pleasure in this Rule"
(Kerenyi, 1980)

Two important themes
1.Communication = fundamental to human existence.
2.Paradox: we believe perfect communication is possible, but we cannot attain it.
