* TheMadhatter: Xena's bout of insanity if a more nuanced take. She acts crazy and sees hallucinations, but she's still capable of kicking butt. She even managed to see through Ares plan to bring her to his side. All while being aware that she's gone nuts.

* MamaBear: When Xena was seven, Atrius came home drunk from a temple of Ares and insisting he had been told to sacrifice her. When he refused to listen to Cyrene and threatened to kill her, too, she picked up an axe and put him down.
* MortonsFork: Gabrielle seeks out Orestes for help, as she heard he was obligated by the Furies to avenge Agamemnon's murder at the hands of Clytemnestra or suffer madness. She finds Orestes in an asylum and initially thinks he didn't go through with it, but the keeper of the place tells him he did.
-->'''Keeper:''' Ahh, it's all a lie. If they persecuted him for not avenging his father's murder, what were they going to do to him for killing his mother? There was no way out for him.
