What did Nietzsche actually mean when he said that we are being too Apollonian?

I am not a philosophy student so I could be wrong here but for a while now, I have been going into Nietzsche's philosophies and stumbled upon his philosophy regarding the Apollonian and Dionysian philosophical concept where he described that ancient Greece was better before Socrates and Plato came into being because they became too Apollonian 

I know that most of the world of today *(at least of the world that I am familiar with)* is mostly influenced by Western philosophy including the philosophies and teachings of Socrates, Plato and others which most of the teachings are thought-provoking and even passionate.

But I did not really understand when Nietzsche said that we are being too Apollonian and neglecting anything that is Dionysian. 

In some cases of today, I sometimes feel that we are being too Dionysian and little Apollonian 

*(meaning too impulsive and emotional and less rational)*

To make things overly simple: We deny our passions instead of embracing them.  Plato was a big preacher of self-restraint.  Nietzsche thinks we should utilize our passions rather than denying them.  Desire shouldn't be reigned in and ruled by the rational part of the soul as Plato proposed, it should be cultivated as force that has the power to push us to do great things.

I like to think of Helen of Troy.  Desire for a woman led to the accomplishment of great deeds.  If great men practiced too much self-restraint, they might never do anything great.
