By highlighting the divine causation of his madness, Euripides problematized Heracles' character and status within the civilized context.[20] This aspect is also highlighted in Hercules Furens where Seneca linked the hero's madness to an illusion and a consequence of Herakles' refusal to live a simple life, as offered by Amphitryon.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6068.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6068.txt
