The Odyssey: Two Greek Concepts
Channel: A Lovely Jaunt
Date: 2019-12-01

Let's take a look at two major Greek concepts that weave throughout the story. First, homosophrune, the idea that Odysseus has a soul mate he's trying to get home to: his beloved wife Penelope. This corresponds to the Greeks' conservative ideals that also circle around the concept of the oikos, the home. Odysseus is a man who had run his household well and there's evidence of that throughout the story. This makes him an ideal soldier, husband, and king.
