Nietzsche's early works On the Birth of Tragedy expound on Apollonian and Dionysian concepts. In the work the German philologist and philosopher states: “The effect aroused by the Dionysian seemed 'titanic' and 'barbaric' even to the Apollonian Greek: while at the same time he was unable to hide from himself the fact of being intimately related to a those Titans and fallen heroes. Nietzsche goes further: “In fact, he must have intuited something even greater: his entire existence, with all its beauty and moderation, rested on a hidden substratum of suffering and knowledge, which was revealed to him once again by the Dionysian ”. Then he concludes forcefully: “And look! Apollo could not live without Dionysus!” Nietzsche calls the Dionysian “Titanic” to indicate the vastness of his concept. This vastness is similar to the vastness of Schopenhauer's oceanic imagery which describes how the earlier philosopher felt about consciousness unbound by the ego. If an Apollonian Greek were to break his ego, or what Nietzsche would call his "shell", it creates the possibility of experiencing the pleasure afforded by the Dionysian element. He lets himself be overwhelmed by an “ecstatic” ocean. The word "Titanic" implies an enormity that cannot be controlled. In this sense, the feeling of vastness can present itself as an antithesis to the Apollonian ideal of structure and therefore prove overwhelming. So overwhelming that one could be destroyed. This is where the description “barbarian” comes in. Nietzsche goes to great lengths to define what he calls the "Dionysian barbarian" and which he separates from the Dionysian Greeks. In this passage he exposes the traditional Dionysian festivals that took place “throughout the center of the paper… on the accurate representation of the facts. Nietzsche is rather interested in affective interpretations. There is also the possibility that he had not reexamined the pros of On the Birth of Tragedy until he wrote Ecce Homo. Furthermore, Nietzsche is blunt in his Nachlass when he states that “there are no facts, only interpretations.” Furthermore, some guidance can be given based on the very nature of Ecce Homo, in which Nietzsche puts himself on trial, ironically fashionable and defends his life's work chapter after chapter. Nietzsche is here ultimately interested in providing a definitive rationale for his philosophy, which celebrates the Dionysian worldview of emotion and instinct over cold rationality and reason. The Birth of Tragedy offers a broad defense of the Dionysian worldview and, for all its flaws, was a work with which Nietzsche finally managed to understand
