Peacemakers, Leaders and true Heroes.

So it is 2010!!! Happy New Year may the winds of fortune blow you to prosperity and happiness!!!

Penelope is inspired by the divine wisdom, begotten from God Zeus head, begotten not created, to be emoted to acting by stout heart to fool the suitors into vying for her hand in marriage by bringing gifts rather than stealing what is hers. Her wisdom makes her more beautiful and convincing to them. She tells them that Odysseus had instructed her to take a husband if he had not returned before Telemachus began to grow facial hair.
Here one sees divine wisdom inspires Penelope to use all her wisdom to fool the suitors to lavish her with gifts bring them all at the same time to the palace, in a good non combative mood thinking one would woe her and gain more power and control in the Greek world of that age.\
Penelope uses a lot of feminine wild, and shows herself a wise and cunning women divinely inspired by her wits to help disarm and set up the suitors as easy prey for Odysseus.

The greater providential wisdom tries to build rage in Odysseus to prepare him for what he must soon do, to justify by wisdom why he must quell and end the paradigms of the suitors. Only justified will Odysseus destroy these outmoded nobles of Greece to help foster a new age based on the new model of heroism, virtue and peace association amongst all the peoples they encounter.
During the celebration Odysseus instructs the maidservant to go to Penelope. The maidservant Melantho, Melanthius’s sister insults Odysseus as inferior and a drunk. He staves them off by threatening them. Athena now inspires Eurymachus to insult Odysseus to anger him against the suitors and when he insults him back, Eurymachus t5hrows a chair at him missing and hitting a servant, the celebration almost becomes a riot before Telemachus steps in and calms everyone down. The sister maidservant not knowing who Odysseus is insults him showing that even amongst the maidservants there are good ones and bad ones. Eurymachus acts in the same manner as the maid yet he went further and tried attacking Odysseus hurting a servant. This shows how some suitors and nobles do not care who they hurt doing their thing and misguided wills. Such leaders cause riots and conflict. They cannot maintain a people as a coherent cohesive peaceful unified group. This is what fuels Odysseus rational and wisdom to the idea of the necessity to eliminate these paradigms from the Greeks. Telemachus shows his ability to create peace and maintain it, unlike Eurymachus, Telemachus proves he can make various [people peaceful and thus shows the ability to maintain law and order. Telemachus, like Odysseus, proves he is a great leader and a paradigm of the new model of leadership and heroism.
