    The rhapsodes (Singer of poetry) do not sing it with their rationality or wisdom, but merely in a kind of divine frenzy and thus, they can only sway the mass by evoking their emotional selves rather than thinking rationally with their mind. Poets, like rhapsode are also nothing but interpreters of the gods.
