The metaphor of change and the battles that fulfilled it.

If you notice Eurymachus was the suitor Ulysses tries to save thinking he was better than let’s say the others like Antinous. Thus Ulysses does agree that Antinous was a bad apple in comparison to Eurymachus but that Eurymachus is not god or virtuous enough to survive into the new paradigms of being Greek and virtuous.
This further explicates why Eurymachus dies after the paradigm reveals itself as embodied and represented Ulysses while the more evil Greek represented by Antinous dies.

After the initial ordeal a battle ensues. Telemachus or the progeny of the elder heroes like Ulysses gets arms from the store room for Melanthius. He leaves the door unlocked, this represents that the technology and ability to arm the virtuous side is not inaccessible by the less virtuous Greeks. Melanthius gets to the store room and retrieves weapons for the suitors but on his return trip he is caught by Melanthius who tie him up and lock him in the room. Here one notices that those arming the vice filled Greeks are not destroyed but an effort is made to stem arms from getting into the hands of the Greeks represented by the suitors. It takes the virtuous servant, extended family , of Ulysses and the paradigms he stands for to truly stop the arms from getting to the less virtuous Greeks represented by the suitors.

If you guys notice there is maybe two or three weeks of the odyssey left.
Once finished I will turn to an oriental myth and do the same type of analyses. If you have any suggestions as to the myth post or send me a message, plus a site where I might find the myth would be helpful.

Note: PM Harper stacked the senate to win a vote he could not fairly win before.
The ideas for political reform in Canada have become even more important.
You will find them a few weeks back
A change is needed so we might as well fix it completely, for everyone’s benefit.
You may cut and paste the material, refer them to this blog and yourself and send it to people you think can help us achieve this change,
I will be sending it to political leaders like Harper
