Nietzsche:
“I will not say
that the tragic world-view was everywhere completely destroyed by this
intruding un-Dionysian spirit: we only know that it had to flee from art into
the underworld as it were, in the degenerate form of a secret cult.” [1]

Biswas Mellamphy:
“I would suggest that the Nietzschean Übermensch,
though framed within the language of type and typology, should be approached
not from a juridical framework that sets out formal ideals to be
followed, but as a choreographic manner for tracking the physiological
movements inscribed within the overhuman background of the living medium (or
‘life’). Recalling Nietzsche’s statement regarding the aesthetic justification
of life in The Birth of Tragedy, the human becomes visible (Apollo) only
as the aesthetic expression of overhuman primordiality (Dionysus); the human is
only a surface of inscription for the overhuman.” [2]
