The Gods Themselves

When Icarus failed in his endeavour, who was more disappointed ? Icarus himself, or even the gods were not spared the ignominy. For is it not true that act of creation is the evidence of presence of will of the creator, to transcend himself,to realize the ideal, to give form to formless, to enact dreams, through act of creation rise to a higher existence or even validating the existence.

Then also is not the will which creates, the eternal truth. We, who are uninitiated, are fooled by
the hand, while oblivious to the act.

And is it also not true, that man, in all his frailty and perfidy is finest creation of the gods, and also their eternal disappointment for submitting to the gods instead of rising above them.
We are unfair when we call the gods jealous. The gods are not angry but melancholic, doomed to despair because their creation has failed them.
