Modern and Old Gods


Author's Note: I wrote about the differences between  the modern and the old plays and I talked about how the old Zeus is different from the new Zeus.

What happened in the play was that Zeus wanted to play war with someone but no one really wanted to. The Gods started talking about something else and they get off topic of starting a war. What change was that, they made the scenes longer and some parts have more humor than the others. The original god story was the Zeus went to war with the other gods but in the modern one he asked all the other gods to "play war" with him

Zeus is different from the old version from now because he seems more kiddish or more playful because he always has to mess around with other people or tell jokes. Another reason that the play was different from the actual thing was how the gods spoke they used more modern words more than old words and all the gods seemed like they acted different for example some gods made fun of each other or fought about whose right or whose wrong.
