Solon and Thespis
http://classics.mit.edu/Plutarch/solon.html
<<Thespis, at this time, beginning to act tragedies, and the thing, because
it was new, taking very much with the multitude, though it was not yet made
a matter of competition, Solon, being by nature fond of hearing and learning
something new, and now, in his old age, living idly, and enjoying himself,
indeed, with music and with wine, went to see Thespis himself, as the
ancient custom was, act: and after the play was done, he addressed him, and
asked him if he was not ashamed to tell so many lies before such a number of
people; and Thespis replying that it was no harm to say or do so in play,
Solon vehemently struck his staff against the ground: "Ah," said he, "if we
honour and commend such play as this, we shall find it some day in our
business." >>

(Perfectly my unofficial idea that Karvanyar unintentionally used GanEstoro, Karmang God of Darkness and Lie to invoke his own Power of Fire and White Sun Lord. But it is plausible that Lunars blame Denesiod and Karvanyar Dynasty for its method to achieve power with allying Carmanians, at least in their early days before Sheng (Doctrine from Yelmgatha's List (mainline of Fortunate Succession?) and Glorious ReAscent of Yelm), and I think Carmanians always doubt the rivalry of Light and Darkness....(if White God is almighty, why Dark God remains?) as Real World Persians....)
