Summary

Saint Joan is a play by George Bernard Shaw about 15th-century French military figure Joan of Arc. Premiering in 1923, three years after her canonization by the Roman Catholic Church, the play reflects Shaw's belief that the people involved in Joan's trial acted according to what they thought was right. He wrote in his preface to the play: There are no villains in the piece. Crime, like disease, is not interesting: it is something to be done away with by general consent, and that is all [there is] about it. It is what men do at their best, with good intentions, and what normal men and women find that they must and will do in spite of their intentions, that really concern us

    There was a dispute. Phaethon said to another man that he is a son of Phoebus Apollo. Phaethon couldn't prove to his opponent that he is a son of Phoebus. He came to mother and asked about his kinship with the Sun. She said: "It is true, I swear. If you have any doubt, go to the land whence he rises at morning and ask him any gift you will; he is your father, and he can't refuse you." After that Phaethon went to the country of sunrise. He went to the East till he came to the palace of the Sun. Phaethon met Phoebus and asked him: "Are you my father indeed?" Phoebus said that Phaethon is his son. The son asked: "Let me drive your chariot for one day?" But his father said: "This is only mine chariot of all the Gods. Not Zeus himself dare drive the chariot of the Sun". But in the end Phoebus gave a chariot to his son with words: "Follow the road, and never turn aside. Go neither too high nor too low."
