OverviewExcerpt from Euphorion: Being Studies of the Antique and the Medi v l in the Renaissance Faustus is therefore a parable of the impotent yearnings of the Middle Ages - its fiassionate aspiration, its conscience-stricken desire, its fettered curiosity amid the cramping limits of imperfect knowledge and irrational dogmatism. The inde structible beauty of Greek art, whereof Helen was an emblem, hecame, through the discovery of classic joetry and sculpture, the possession of the modern world. Media-valism took this Helen to wife, and their ofis/rz'ng, the E uphorz'on of Goethe's drama, is the spirit of the modem world - J. A. Symonds, Renaissance in Italy, vol. Ii. P. 54.
