Athena and Diomedes actions and thoughts indicate that Aphrodite is week, cowardly, and overdramatic about her pain, and words like week, and cowardly suggest that Aphrodite deserves her wound because she is a major reason behind the Trojan war.

The two most important factors responsible for fueling the movement toward drug regulations in the 20th century were that patent medicines were abused and the associated drug use with minority groups (Levinthal, 2012). With little or no restrictions on drugs by any government agency, patent medicines had a broad definition and were distributed in various ways. Interestingly, the medicines were a far cry from today's medicines as there were no restrictions that required all of the ingredients to be listed on the container the medicine was distributed in.
