still be evident, and that it is not relevant for
the machine to be perfect to prove that it has a
creator. He concludes the watch analogy with the
assumption, that no intelligent person would
assume that the pieces of the watch were just a
random combination of nature. The next concept

able to reproduce itself. Just because it can do

upheld by the old, now 'foreign' gods, represents
forces that the Athenians were increasingly
overlooking. Jason's suffering at her hands
displays some of the consequences of a
self-assured civilization's blindness to the power
of its repressed values. While the cultural
resonance of Medea's characters will be explored

simply be recognized here that Jason's perspective
bears more than a personal prejudice;...
