Homer’s odyssey examined through neologisms

The classic Epic-Odyssey of Homer belongs to the canons of Greek literature. The Odyssey is a description of the epic hero Ulysses’ return journey after the Trojan War. He faces insurmountable problems with the sea god Poseidon against him. In his house in Ithaca there are several avid suitors for his Penelope. He is able to successfully overcome all the problems and kill the suitors who compete for his wife. Here I would like to analyze the Odyssey using newly minted neologisms.

meta psychosis

Meta-Psychosis is a condition where Gods and Goddesses intervene in the destiny of man. In the book we counter various aspects of metapsychosis. Let’s see the wrath of Poseidon on Ulysses that made him shipwreck. Then there is the goddess Athena who pleads with Zeus so that he can be rescued. We meet the hero trapped by the tricks of the nymph Calypso and Circe. Metapsychosis in a modern context applies to humans who are subject to the fate of their destiny.

demonstration anarchism

Demo-anarchism comes from democracy and anarchism. In the state of Ithaca, presuming the death of the protagonist, there are a series of suitors competing to win Penelope’s hand in marriage. This can be classified as the existence of demo-anarchism. Penelope takes a bold stand and evades the wishes of the suitors. The Trojan War was a war that was fought for democratic reasons and can be compared to the Gulf War, where the United States liberated Kuwait from the hands of Saddam Hussein. The god Poseidon’s decision not to favor Ulysses’ journey is also a state of demo-anarchism.

paradox

Paradox is a peculiar trauma Ulysses faces when he is shipwrecked and stranded on several islands. He faces the condition of being in the paradox of being human and being God. However, he remains steadfast in his faith to be loyal to Penelope and return to the island of Ithaca. When he confronts Calypso and Circe, he manages to evade his temptations with the intervention of the gods. The paradox also refers to the conflict of gods that weighs on the fate of Odysseus.

metacolonization

Metacolonization is a symptom that the gods are colonialists and interfere in the life of the hero. Poseidon’s wrath and Ulysses’ shipwreck mark the birth of colonization in a metaphysical sense. The entire history of European colonization has its birth in the poem. We find that the character of the actor in the poem is democratic, seeking the pursuit of democracy by force of character.

Myth-poetry

Mythopoesis is the characterization of the network of supernatural and natural elements in the art of poetry. Odysseus faces a mountain of trouble on his journey back from Troy. Some of the problems are created by the gods to test Odysseus’ character and strength. The Odyssey poem is intensely subjective and carries the catharsis of poetic subjectivity.
