Homer
Reflection built from the epics associated with Homer — the Iliad and the Odyssey.
"Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy."
Homer is the name attached to the Iliad and the Odyssey — the two founding poems of Western literature. Whether one poet or a tradition of singers, the work carries a single register: unflinching about grief, patient with longing, unafraid of the long return. The Iliad sits with Achilles' rage and what it costs him — and ends not in victory but in Priam kneeling to beg for the body of his son Hector, and Achilles weeping with him. The Odyssey follows twenty years of a man trying to get home: through monsters, through the underworld, through his own pride, while Penelope waits and weaves and unweaves. These poems know that some things cannot be reasoned with — grief, distance, the slow work of return — and that the way through is not counsel but image, story, and witness.
