As a reader I find this to be true. Romantic era stories/novels are easy to come by. Everyone has heard of Edgar Allan Poe, he was a romanticism author, no was Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Hope that's what you were looking for.
I believe it was mostly because he could be turned into stone at any time. Wounds can be healed, and army's can be partially slain, but being turned into stone means you are basically defenseless against her until turned back, if you're turned back to normal at all.
Including fallacies in advertising can be effective but dangerous at the same time. For example, aspirins are advertised through telling people that if they feel tired when they get up in the morning, they should take an aspirin so that they can face the day. This may be effective because a lot of people work long hours and feel naturally tired. Besides, they turn on the TV when they get back home in the evening and see these sorts of commercials. They will believe in them since they will have to get up and go to work the following day. However, this may be dangerous because people can develop addiction to drugs.
In my opinion, we should not believe in advertisements. The fact that people feel tired because of their work is a real problem. We can feel identified with that problem but the solution cannot be an aspirin. The advertisement shows us the problem but the solution is dangerous; our health is affected. If our health is the problem, we should see our doctor. Doctors will give us true facts. As a result, we will become better consumers because we will take from the market what is really good for us and we will not believe just in anything. For example , we will just believe in advertisments that show the good effects of eating healthy food and doing exercises.
