In the ritual of Hades, in the land of Perce phony the first soul Odysseus encounters is Elpenor the crew member who fell and broke his back on Circes Island. Elpenor begs Odysseus to return to Circe’s island and properly bury him. Odysseus then encounters the Theban prophet Teiresias who tells of his future.
The first soul represents the past of the Greeks dieing and decaying as the old humanity falls to the past. The Theban prophet Teiresias represents the future of the Greeks and that eventually they will have to appease Poseidon for their sea faring exploits esp. against the Cyclops. Teiresias is a prophet now dead but who sees into the future and foretells of the future by way of prophesy. The rash Greeks are dead and being buried while the Greeks foreseen by prophets and holy men are being formed in the future a new people born anew from the womb of Hades

the land of the dead and sun cattle doing American Olmec/mayan Calypso dancing
Persephone might have been a Celtic/ early Greek colony on the west coast of Africa.
Now let’s look back at the path Ulysses took:
The land of the dead and the dead channeled through a ritual of Haiti was outside the Pillars of Hercules, at the river Oceanus or the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean was called an ocean because of this reference. Calypsos Island and the island of the sun cattle were both outside the pillars. Thus our summation that Calypsos Island was outside the Pillars of Hercules and in the Caribbean is now a sound theory, infect as the island is considered west of the land of the dead it must be towards the Americas. the island of the sun cattle is the Mayans of the island of three or the place of Atlantis, as Socrates and the Egyptian he was speaking too stated in a platonic dialogue, Atlantis suffered a catastrophe and was broken into three islands, thus the name of the place of the sun cattle was named the place of three (land masses) In fact, based on the dating of Ulysses, it was about the time south America suffered a flood that made it disappear for a shot while and the ice age was nearing its end. Hence in Hercules time Atlantis suffered its first catastrophe and began to sink as water levels rose to flood even the Mediterranean. By Ulysses time the island(s) of the sun cattle be they Olmec or Mayan were prosperous and suffered their end after Ulysses.
One will also notice the land of Persephone is another matriarchal society.
More next week.

Haiti of africa, the land of the queen of the dead, holy blood rituals sommoning the dead and prophets
If one notices that Circe had instructed Odysseus as to how he would survive the various matriarchal peoples the Greeks would encounter, this portrays that the wisdom Odysseus gained from Circe and the Greeks that broke their backs to equal him became the key to understanding and dealing with these people and ultimately shape the image of the virtuous Greek represented by Odysseus.
"Following Circe's advice, Odysseus set sail westward toward the river Ocean and the shores of Persephone. He then went into a cave, taking honey, milk, wine, and a black goat. He dug a hole and poured in the ingredients followed by the blood of the goat. This attracted all the shades in Hades, who have a thirst for blood. Odysseus was terrified by the sight of them.
From http://www.theriverstyx.net/odysseus.shtml
Oceanus was the name later given by the Greeks to the interconnected waters of the Oceans, Thus Odysseus had to have left the Mediterranean to reach the Atlantic( Oceanus has also referred to Space but that is a rare reference not indicative of this tale unless one wants to place Odysseus into space?)
Persephone was representative of an earth terra Celtic tribe in northern Africa.
The root of her people was European Celts stolen and merged with the peoples of Africa or Haiti of Africa.
One could place her people in Spain prior to being taken into Africa or going to Africa. The fact that at the river of Oceanus or the Atlantic at the shores of Persephone Odysseus lands to meet the shades of Hades. A land becoming milk, homey, wine and goats blood to create holy blood formula peoples of this land us to channel spirits of the dead. The dead crave holy blood to give audience to an oracle or person summoning them. Like the witch of Endor (see bible) Odysseus calls to a spirit of a prophet, Teiresias, who sits in Hades for being a misogynist, he would have been on the Elysian Fields if more perfect. Like Samuel, Teiresias the prophet that came to Odysseus warns him of his future plight, to stop the Greeks from slaughtering the cattle of the sun and the troubles he will encounter upon returning home.
Now one might say Teiresias was not in Hades and only is referred to have been so based on the Hades ritual practiced in the land of the queen of the dead or Persephone. However his misogyny needed to be confessed to expose the anti matriarchal sentiment of the Greeks prior to Odysseus in Teiresias time. See through Circe and his other adventures as a representative of the new paradigm of the Greeks was not misogynistic but wise by way of egalitarianism. For only an egalitarian is called wizard or wise by all people’s men and women.
The goat is a religious symbol and haranguer of divination in someplace on the west coast of Africa.
If Persephone was a titan does that make the Celts titans of the age of the titans or just of that age? Is Persephone their Goddess representing their people?

All Hallows Eve, Thrinacia, Haithia( Haitia)
Happy all hallows eve and the darkness that descends upon us as those of us who return to standard daylight savings time must put our clocks back one hour to make sure those getting up in the mourning wake up to light rather than giving people extra daylight after work. So all the spirits come out tonight savouring the last vestige of daylight savings time as those faint of heart grip white knuckled to their bed sheets praying for the speedy return of day. Well this year the spirits are shorted one whole our as the sun rises earlier and thus beckoning in all the Gods, angels and saints of all hallowed day. The army of light enters our world one hour earlier, Scary boys and girls!!!
Some say Thrinacia was actually Sicily because the word Thrinacia implies three and Sicily has three corners. Now the placement of the whirlpool between Sicily and Calabria’s might indicate Sicily is the land of the sun. The land of the sun was a matriarchal society and was led by eldest daughter of the sun, Lampetia. She was an elder and high priestess of Helios. However calypsos' island was the next stop and we have determined her island to be in the Caribbean. Now the three implied in the name Thrinacia might represent the three islands of Atlantis which may have succumb to full flooding after the time of Ulysses. Prior to reaching the island of the sun, the islands were the sun set and seemed to offer a home and rest spot for Helios, Ulysses had visited the land of the dead or Hades. Though he had descended into this land (I will look at this adventure next week) he had sailed to it. Haiti which derives its name from the same African root is a West African name- along the Ivory Coast. So Ulysses had already left the Mediterranean by the time he had reached the lands of Hathis (Hades); this fits our idea that Calypsos Island was in the Caribbean. This places the whirlpool just outside the straights of Gibraltar. Could it be that Scylla and Charybdis were at the Pillars of Hercules and Charybdis represented the pirates of the savage waters of the Atlantic? Circe had told Ulysses how to navigate past matriarchal societies and Ulysses had to cross Charybdis after being on Thrinacia.
Historically people have relegated the Greeks to the Mediterranean and far east, realising Greeks prior to Hercules had journeyed to the Americas and up and down the coasts of Europe and Africa( all the way to Asia) helps alleviate this shortsighted interpretation that unnecessarily restricts and biases ones interpretation, In fact the whirlpool might even be the English channel which may have been the root taken to the Americas but most likely Ulysses followed the islands in the mid Atlantic taking off from the coast of Africa. Recall that triremes have been found in the Caribbean, amongst Egyptian ships and Phoenician writing.
Food for thought till we look at this more next week.

Thrinacia, the island of the sun- the end of violent ancient Greek greed
Odysseus next sails by Thrinacia, the island of the sun. Here the sun has cattle or followers that are cattle or merchants. Due to a storm Odysseus was convinced by Eurylochus to take refuge on the island that he wanted to avoid. The storm beaches the crew for over a month. At first Odysseus crew live secluded and kept to themselves till they ran out of provisions. Once stores dwindled Eurylochus convinces Odysseus crew to pillage the island of the sun and kill the cattle for food. The Sun to Zeus and requested revenge for this inhumane behaviour and Zeus stirs up a great storm as Odysseus and his crew leaves the island, the ship is wrenched and everyone except Odysseus dies. He is swept back to Charybdis. Odysseus barely survives the second encounter of the whirlpool before being sent east to Ogygia, Calypso’s. Odysseus then stops telling his story to the Phaeacians. As we have already claimed this is where the Odysseus that represents the paradigm of the Greek who formed in this epoch began. The Greeks who lived in seclusion from the Thrinacia till the circumstances of their life became more meager due to circumstances of nature, the storm. The Greeks are then led Eurylochus to pillage and attack the peoples of Thrinacia. This was done because they were seen as more profitable than the Greeks. It was Eurylochus who first convinced the Greeks to seek shelter amongst the people of Thrinacia. Inasmuch as the Greeks had shared their island and culture of the Thrinacia, the wealth overwhelmed them and rather than allying they attack the peoples of the island to gain their wealth, their subsistence for themselves. This was the last act of the Greeks that were not like Odysseus, only Greeks as virtuous survive this storm and revenge of the peoples of the sun. The events that follow the pillaging kills the other types of Greeks, the violent Greeks and leaves only Odysseus as a paradigm of the Greeks of that age. These are the Greeks that sail past the Pillars of Hercules and go far and wide, including to the Americas. This New Greek creates alliances and marriages rather than fighting to dominate others. By the time of the Phaeacians the Greeks had learned the appropriate behaviour for then international diplomacy.

The pirates of Charybdis and Scylla's alliance and marriage to Ulysses Greeks, plus Tentrikyo
Scylla and Charybdis are both said to be daughters of Poseidon. Zeus is said to have turned Charybdis into a whirl pool. Both represent matriarchal religions. Circe's wisdom told Ulysses to marry into each tribe of Scylla and thus ally with them having one person devoured by the society they would go live in. Charybdis at one point pulled in Ulysses ship and he was ship wrenched till she spit it out. Her the people represented by Charybdis are shown to be pirates and capture boats of the shores of the scyllain hill. So Circe told Ulysses the way to win and gain passage for the Greeks through the straits is to ally with the scyllains and thus gain passage by traveling near their shores to avoid the pirating peoples who whirl away boats. This is how the Greeks became allied to the scyllains
Tentrikyo
in 1838 God chose Miki Nakayamato become a shrine of God. Her husband and son had fallen ill and the Buddhist monk sent to exercise the illness and heal them failed. After she was left to the healing for a while as the Buddhist monk was called off she received her vision from God. The emperor of Japan at the time made her system a one of the official Shinto ways till the religious liberty that occurred after WWII that allowed to return to its roots and become its own religion. The premise of Miki's vision was that the universe was muddy water and God created being. One lends out what one was gifted of life one has on borrow. A main reason for the transcendence was Miki was granted healing powers upon having her husband give her up as a shrine of God. God reinforced the importance of women and their independence in then Japan. God is the parent and can give birth to love and com[passion through a women as well as any man. The healing is the endowment of prayer and true love and the giving of the passion of love. Tentrikyo is a universal religion that believes one gives of one self and is rewarded by the blessings of God. Mind is stronger than anything the body might be tempted to and the sharing of love and mind more powerful than the ills of society. Evil is caused by the dust that cloud the mind that muddy ones vision of good social living, or living with others and the self. One sweeps away this dust to know what the good life is clearly and as Socrates says then by reason act good. It is the healing of the illness that causes ill action. It is the paying of the self for through the sake of other, lending what is borrowed to earn for the self the love of person and God and thus being like God a parent and birther of goodness and greatness.

Scylla and Charybdis
After passing by the peoples of the island of the sirens Odysseus, his ship must pass between the island of the Scylla and Charybdis. Scylla is a six headed monster that devours one sailor per head and Charybdis is a whirl pool that sits on this side of Scylla's lair. Circe had instructed Oddysseus to stay close to the cliffs of Scylla's lair and only observe Charybdis whirling waters across the strait. Scylla's heads devour one of Oddysseus crew members each as they sail past. Scylla means female dog in Greek and the 6 headed monster has been depicted as having dogs heads and a nymphs body in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Homer describes the monster as having 12 feet, two feet per head. Scylla is obviously a matriarchal clan of six tribes living on hills next to a straight. The scyllains produce a whirlpool next to that strait.The whirl pool is often also described as a living monster. So one either has people convert to their tribes or chances losing the entire crew to the whirl pool. It might be that each monster depicts a male and female aspect of the same religion or two peoples living in the same area that afford one to join one of the two if one is to survive encountering either, the devouring might represent the husbands one must sacrifice to ally with the scyllaans that allows for peaceful unity with both peoples. Marrying into each tribe of Scylla allows one to be allied with the people of Charybdis. The Strait of Messina between Italy and Sicily. The phrase Scylla and Charybdis has been used to describe making a choice between a rock or a hard place, two unappealing choices, one that destroys you while the other that hurts you.
