GR translation: Strung Into the Apollonian Dream . . .

[David Morris]

"Strung up" means to hang by the neck.

"Apollonian"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonian_and_Dionysian

In Greek mythology, Apollo and Dionysus are both sons of Zeus. Apollo is
the god of reason and the rational, while Dionysus is the god of the
irrational and chaos. The Greeks did not consider the two gods to be
opposites or rivals, although often the two deities were interlacing by
nature.

The Apollonian is based on reason and logical thinking. By contrast, the
Dionysian is based on chaos and appeals to the emotions and instincts. The
content of all great tragedy is based on the tension created by the
interplay between these two.
