The meaning of the victim and the connected with it power, benefits or price are very important. The themes of love and sacrifice are central. The reader sees what people crave for, where they see the justice of their expectations and claims, what sacrifices they are willing to accept or pay for the sake of love. The reader sees how the gods take away this ability and how people realize it. However, gradually the narrative clearly denotes the main secret of this whole story – an ability to love. People and the gods, who interfere in earthly life, are unknown, but cruel. The text of the book begins with a claim to the gods.
