Faust 1, 2 Written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe / Translated by Jeon Yeong-ae | Gil Publishing "Rule thus, Eros, the one who began all things!" "Long live water! Long live fire! Long live the rare adventure!" About the scene titles in [ ] Even though the Frankfurt edition or the final manuscript did not distinguish them as separate scenes, if the scene has been treated independently for a long time and especially if it is often referenced as a scene unit in research, the scene is organized as a separate chapter, titled, and [ ] is added before and after it as usual. 《Part 2, Act 2》 An artificial human appears in the second act. He is a character created by his assistant Wagner after the disappearance of his master Faust. The concept of the artificial human in this part, written 200 years ago (1829), is amazing. He is the essence of the spirit. He has no body and is contained in a flask. This artificial human homunculus (meaning 'small person') reads the dream of the collapsed Faust and takes him to ancient Greece. This is where he can meet Helena. In the darkness of antiquity, everyone wanders in search of something they desire. Faust, riding on the back of the half-man, half-horse sage Chiron who is said to have raised Greek heroes - racing through time - wanders in search of Helena, and Mephistopheles becomes the partner of the three Phorchias sisters who have only one eye and one tooth. (This composite monster, Phorchias-Mephistopheles, appears in the following Act 3 as the chief maid who guards the palace during Queen Helena's absence.) The homunculus, who has enough mental power to read Faust's dream and take him to the ancient Greek world but has no body, runs to the most beautiful human, Galatea, the daughter of the sea god. However, he is hit by the shell cart carrying Galatea, the glass containing him breaks, and he ends up flying into the sea like a firework. ─ From the “Translator’s Note”
