Blood 🩸 is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.
This is a Odyssey for me, for the diving deep into writing about The Odyssey, for the very first time, my first relationship about blood dates back to the Bible, as in my opening of this essay; this mythical journey into a poem of this magnificent, creates an phenomenon too explore even if you’re not entrenched into literature…and exciting venture in ideology.
Bible Introduction of Blood Reference
Blood of Christ in Christian theology refers to (a) the physical blood actually shed by Jesus Christ primarily on the Cross, and the salvation which Christianity teaches was accomplished thereby; and next, warriors who drank their enemies’ blood…
Blood of Christ in Christian theology refers to (a) the physical blood actually shed by Jesus Christ primarily on the Cross, and the salvation which Christianity teaches was accomplished thereby; or (b) the sacramental blood present in the Eucharist or Lord’s Supper, which some Christian denominations believe…(Hebrews 9:22).
Below are a model of the Underworld as told by limited novice…Amir, as well as some quote of other aspects of the Greek Underworld that seem to be threadbare among too say.
Opening up to the Underworld
Loyalty.
Another personal virtue that is a major theme in the epic is loyalty. The most striking example of loyalty in the epic is, of course, Penelope, who waits faithfully for 20 years for her husband’s return. Another example is Telemachus, who stands by his father against the suitors. Odysseus’ old nurse, Eurycleia, remains loyal to Penelope and her absent master. Eumaeus, the swineherd, and Philoetius, I’m going out on limb, in my assumption in the crest of their loyalties to each other owns personal gains.
Vengeance
Since this poem boundaries around blood 🩸, again, I’m under assumption. This is from my own personal comprehension of journeys of Poseidon and Odysseus which are the most noticeable representatives of the theme of vengeance. In order to escape from the cave of the Cyclops (Polyphemus), Odysseus blinds the one-eyed giant (Book 9). Unfortunately, the Cyclops is the sea god Poseidon’s son; Odysseus has engaged a formidable enemy. Poseidon can’t kill Odysseus because the Fates have determined that he will make it home. However…there’s always a plot throughout the saga within the message deeply embedded in the main core of theme…
Fictional and Reality and Functionality
The theme of appearance versus reality is at the core of the relationship between Athena and Odysseus.It seems as though appearance altering is somehow the plot in poem.
On several occasions, Athena changes Odysseus’ appearance, either to disguise him or make him look even more formidable than he normally would. As Odysseus prepares for example, she alters his appearance to make him look taller, more massive, and more alluring in every way. And again, Odysseus is no stranger to disguise. During the Trojan War, he posed as a beggar to enter the city;
This is where I’m somewhat disconnected to the urgency of Odysseus’ journey to the Land of the Dead, Elpenor was left unburied, and his spirit requests proper rites when the Greeks return to Aeaea. … Drinking the blood temporarily revitalizes the dead; briefly they can communicate with Odysseus and speak only truth
An Aspect of Spiritual Growth
In my opinion, this what gathers into my thoughts, as opposed to one of the questions often asked about a work of literature, are whether the principal characters grow or develops mentally, and spiritually, as the story progresses. Seemly, yes the theme of spiritual growth is central to The Odyssey, especially as it relates to Telemachus and Odysseus…whereas good and bad intentions and an admirable, if naïve, spirit prevails. Trust is a prevailing refinement of spirit growth
Amir’s Personal Statements and Thoughts
The odyssey is obviously one of the literature classics of history, written in a amalgam leading the reader to be immersed in both real and fictional still wondering about how and what they just read…one of the hardest lessons that men could learned from reading this poem are examples of self-control, and knowing about trust and surrender…in relating to the major themes in The Odyssey are especially significant because they serve to form the moral and ethical constitution of most of the characters. One of the biggest mysteries that remains about “The Odyssey” are what was Homer motivation, was it that he wanted to be considered as one of the greatest literary writers of all times…that will probably still remain to be one of the everlasting mysteries…
