Mars is in detriment here. The idea of death as commercial exchange appears in Aeschylus' image of Ares as a gold-exchanger and holder of the scales in battle. Not even the wealth of Troy or Delphi, says Achilles, is equal in value to his psyche- his soul. Cattle and sheep can be plundered and tripods and horses can be bought, whereas the psyche cannot be reobtained once it exchanges its barrier. |
