DISCOVERY CHANNELWhat did odysseus do at the beginning of the story that caused his return home to be so bad?? Men have been embarking on Odysseys always. The definition (the long journey with many changes)First actual novel.Allegory of our livesWe all follow our own journey 12,000 linesWe first meet him in the Iliad, we think it happened 1200 bceWe don't know if it really happened thoughHelen of Troy, launched 1000 tripsIt must cover everything Romans called odysseus Ulysses Liar, very very human, intelligent: hero Odysseus Fought troy under ammagedonNecessity of crisis, we prove weak or strong or good or badAchieve their own identity.It should have taken 2 weeks, but it took 10 yearsThe cyclops, NOMAN protects Odysseus not all of his friendsWho I am! I'm Odysseus, he is an individualConsequences are from Poseidon Myth is a form of history, or even some science(reason why humans said gods ) The forces of nature, and the nature of menReason and civilization is AthenaPoseidon is the strength of emotionThey don't grow ill so we are more noble. There is something more noble about humans Circe turns men into swine, because she's dispensing justice. Gives odysseus immunity Women are very important, they see him off to every journeyOdysseus should live, thats why he lives with calypso Homers work set the template for greeks literature In every situation, they say you can forget home. He learns that life and all its suffering is better than anything else We all are somewhat explorers, Life would be dull if it you didn't have some sort of adventureHe always has choices, he has the choice of the whirlpool (ship wrecked) or the headed monster (eat six men)Homecoming is a central theme. Everyone feels that sense.He has been away from Ithaca for 20 years totalIf she gave into a suitor, then there would be no kingdom for her or telemachos.She will marry the man that strings the bow and hits the dozen x'sFor the first time in 20 years they embraceThat's where one has begun and where they want to come back to Fate vs free will. They created the role, but he acted itWhat each of us actually want it to go through a journey so we cN say on our deathbeds that we did Somethingggg** Socrates ** Other notes found at todaysmeet.com/seaholmsocrates __Thesis__: Socrates is defined, like all great leaders, by the events that proceeded him, and continues, then, to define the world after his death. i. Sophist that Socrates didn’t like was Meno- Socrates would make fun of him. ii. The only thing you see when you write things down, is what the one person said and the whole rest of the world is excluded. He believed you should open up the conversation with questions. It took Plato to write it all down. i. Bronze types: aren’t particularly clever, but you need them. They’re the masses of people (ie. Bread makers, coffee sellers, etc). They deserve to have some kind of dignity, but they’re not the best. ii. Silver types: Exist in a “limbo” world, part serving society, but also have a higher purpose of enhancing the society. Fewer of these than the Bronze type. iii. Gold type: The philosophers of the society- they make a living out of thinking. They have the conversations that will build policy. Out of here, one philosopher would serve as king so the whole nation prospers. i. Breaking free from the cave was dangerous. But once you do, you leave the cave and head toward the light, and your eyes painfully readjust and the more light you get, the more painful it is. __Light, for Socrates, is always a symbol for knowledge.__ The sun is the source of light, knowledge- this comes from Plato i. He was never able to figure out how to define physical objects. In order to define an object, you have to be able to tell me what it is that thing is, what is its essence, and what is it that distinguished that thing from anything else? What is it that is a chair, and only a chair? Only have to know form and function. Ie. What is big? ii. Socrates to Meno “What defines a good man?” Meno: “one who can run the state!” S: “What is it that defines a woman?” M: “A woman is someone that can run a house, like a state” S: “well isnt running a state like running a house? So they both have to be able to run a house like state and a state like a house.” M: “well then a man is a woman!” iii. Socrates was the teacher, Plato was his student. Plato’s student was Aristotle (who brought up the idea of categories for definition-played into the whole “what is big?” question), whose student (the final student of the “greats”) was Alexander the Great, a Masadonian. i. When a king or person believes enough to prosper for themselves. (?) But justice for me competes for justice for you? Yes. So what happens when what I want competes for what you want and the state suffers. ii. Justice becomes how we can better serve the state
 * 1) How has Socrates changed education, religion, government?
 * 2) Pericles: Leads Athens to its greatest defeat. “Lend me your gear, let’s go fight for the right to impose our indemnity on the world” He distorted the truth, and silly people went along with it. Everyone was excited, but they lost.
 * 3) So Athens was in a state of chaos. One reason (according to Socrates) they were in such chaos. That reason was Democracy- people were incapable of leadership, we needed the best and the brightest to lead us. Believe in Philosopher King. Socrates rises out of a time of chaos, but he is able to put order on.
 * 4) He was deliberately ugly, which is importantly because he believes you can’t judge a book by its cover. This goes against the Greek form, because at that time, they believed only the most beautiful were great.
 * 5) He //dialogues// about the way life ought to be, and these are written by his #1 student, Plato. Socrates lives in 450 BC, which was a bridge into another century- marked a large change. Writing was just becoming all the rage, Socrates himself never wrote, for he believed in the dialogue and believed that writing was evil and would lead to sophistry: self promotion. More about winning the argument than learning the truth.
 * 1) Plato has a whole bunch of philosophies that belong to him, and then a whole bunch that are the teachings of Socrates. But we really only know Socrates through Plato.
 * 2) __Socrates’ Teachings__
 * 3) Types of people:
 * 1) Pericles dupped the people into going to battle, then Socrates writes the __Allegory of the Cave__ (in reference to Pericles- when talking about the puppet masters)—similaties between AotC and 2003 War on Iraq.
 * 1) Truth
 * 2) Socrates believed in truth- truth is true, and it’s always true. It is also difficult to find things that are really true. Nothing that you can see, touch or smell is really (at least on a surface level) is true- it is real, but not true. The only things that are true are those you can’t see, like math.
 * 1) Justice
 * 2) What is Justice?
 * 1) In current day, if the individual serves themselves, then he is serving the state as well


 * Socrates**Plato has philosophies himself and he has socrates philosophies Socrates names Three types of people: Bronze... Essential for functioning of society. Masses of people. Not really clever. they deserve dignity. They aren't really smart Silver people: soldiers, teachers construct intellectual and moral fiber of community. Fewer than bronze Gold: elite group, they are the philosophers of the society. They made a living out of thinking. Conversations that will build policies. One would serve as king. And it would best guide society so it prospers. Puppet master shadows....... He was referring directly to Pericles, (pericles tricked into going to Athenian war) our leaders manipulate the truth to make us believe what they want. In allegory, when you break free from the chains that restrict you from the light, it's painful when you see it finally. Light is a symbol of knowledge. Truth hurtsThe sun, is the source of light, and knowledge. Comes from plato's workSocrates:Truth: he did believe in truth, he didn't believe in multiple truths. He believed it was difficult to find it. Nothing you can see touch smell is really true, Math is true. Why isn't anything physical is real? Its real, but not true. Definition. Mino comes in . Socrates could never define physical objects. In order to define an object you must say two things, what distinguishes this from everything else, what makes a thing a chair and what's the chairs essence. Socrates might say something to mino like what defines a good man. Mino says a good man is one who can run the state. Socrates asks:what is it that can define a women? Mino says a women is someone who can run a house, like a state. Socrates says well can you help me?it's seems like they are a lot alike. They must both do the same thing. Mino:a man is a women.... The problem that Socrates has is he can't distinguish what is and only is. The essence of a chair is something you sit down on.... Definitions don't mean anything, you need to know form and function. Socrates is the original teacher, Plato, Aristotle... If we start classifications and divisions it's easier to define. Then macedonian, Alexander the Great. Justice: is a particular value to socrates. Again in a dialogue he asks what it is. He gets this answer: that a king can help everyone. Justice for me competes with justice for you? Sooooooooo what happens when what I wNt competes with what you want hurts the state. Justice: how can we best serve the state, greater good.

 * OEDIPUS THE KING** Introduction:Oedipusflex today's meetOedipus means cut foot Several things are happening that you should traceIt is a seminole in western civilization For 100s of thousands of yearsIt's been an important part because it emphasizes the Greek notion of fate Oedipus tries to run away from your fate, but the closer he gets to it when he runsLook for how Oedipus in a very weird sense people argue that it is a tale about who you can love.Additionally, we have been talking about heros, oedipus is a classic hero.Aristotle said that classical heros are super in their status,they are kings and near gods.You need to be close to the gods on the social ladder,They need to struggleFor Aristotle, the best of the best, the ultimate heros are tragic heros, bad things happen to them in the end, but in that, they claim something in history, so that their memory will make us look up to themLook for the Jesus like quality in OedipusAnother term... Hubris means extreme pride. Believe so strongly in something that it a virtue that it comes a vice. Even though the vice is there, and looks bad, it really isn't.Pay attention to the hubrisGreek chorus This a story. The Greeks were great at telling stories. Fill an auditorium, needed a mechanism to tell that story, so they invented a chorus,, group of men. Recite it then the actors would do everything else. "forensics multiple style" In Greek theatre, women weren't allowed. In this play, it was not filmed in 400 BCNotes:Made by Canada production Sophocles wrote it. Reenactment of human sacrifice. We too should too think of the people who sacrifice for us Apollo the sun god, giver of light and the light of faith.Thebes is the city stateSphinx Thebes was in despair, then man conquered cities, Oedipus was himOedipus was saviorUplift usYou're cunning brought us luck, keep us luckyMy suffering is worse my soul mourns the city myself and youI should not be a honest man if I don't do what the gods sayCroon is there When pain turns to pleasure, when we make the crooked straightIf you do my bidding you might find help from all your troublesWho was killed speak now, but if anyone keeps quiet from fear or to shield a friend, I will be mad and u wont like it haha I will bring to light the murder of ________if you don't obey me I hope that this plague will kill you, but you will be blessed if u do what I wantThe plague is among us.Be wise and suffer for itYou know all and will betray meThe future will come of itselfWhy are the prophets usually blind?

 * Notes relating allegory of the cave, four functions of mythology, and tragic hero, odyssey,odyssey video, star wars**If you are going to share, relate to one of the sourcesGeneral question, what is an allegory?:Allegory is a figurative observation that communicates an idea through symbolism-literacy or visualDoes truth actually exist, perception is always truth to one self or a groupThe truth is the shadows to the people in the cave. Sun is the others truthLife and the afterlife. Everyone is in the dark until the afterlifeIs the truth just an allegoryBe wary of the truthDo people feel a need to challenge the truth?Truth a belief that people acceptIntro to what star wars was: once you leave someplace then go on a journey, you can't go back to the way they were.Obi won kinbeee Athena would be more obi won kinbeeeTelemachus can be luke sky walkerHow do you think odysseus seems to change as a man: how to be humble (old man)Does a hero have to be humble?Luke and odysseus went on the same journey relate to that joseph cam bell. Same thing...what a hero meansOur view of a hero is change????What makes Odysseus a current day hero?


 * Seminar notes**


 * POLIS READING AND TRUMAN SHOW SEMINAR**What did we talk about in the Waginar?There is a truman show syndromeSome people in the auditorium thought that Idea of a prisoner. Who is the prisoner besides Truman?We think the people in the fake world are too. Real world people are prisoners too because the creator said that all the people in the real world are sick.Perfection can't always happen.People are looking for change, even if it's change within the American dream, people are still looking for an America dream.Is it a good thing that he isn't in control of his own life? Parallels are drawn between Greek gods and humans and the creator and TrumanHe would have been content in the American dream if he created it.Wasn't content because he wanted change and meaning in his life. Sylvia symbolically and literally showed him the lightHe wanted to go to Fiji to be in control.Allegory of the cave content until you see the real thingActors knew the real world and still chose the fake one. Sylvia was wearing stripes when she was outside of the fake worldThe people who watch reality tv are prisoners because their lives are consumedPuppeteer is Christof Christof is the truth because he is like god. He created the fake.He is a prisoner because without Truman he would be nothing, that's why he didn't want him to leave.Aren't our lives in a sense predetermined. You go to school you get a job...Birmingham bubble, there is a path that we all followPaige brought up Utopia some people aren't happy with the leadership, are those the people that change it?There is no Utopia because perfection is perception Shifting to the reading, it was almost an ideal society when they had the assemblies.How is athens state of mind like a utopia.I wouldn't call it a utopia for women and childrenSome had to be free and prosperous but some had to be enslavedsocrates thought that there was no democracy in a utopia, a philosophical king should be the ruler in his view How religion sort of slipped from politics in AthensThey took natural things and made sure they addressed it in a human way Nootka a godlike wayWhere did laws come from? Human community not from the gods.Was democracy still largely based on religion. How much was actually used for morals and values and ethics in democracy?Can you have morals without religion?Its just human nature. Comes from trial and errorDemocracy church and state separated or not really because morals derived from religionWhat is a hero what is truthValued morals but wanted people to live to their full potential Each state had a different ruling style the military sparta and the democracy and the artsDoes any great ruler have a Utopia in mind? hitler Every humans thoughts comes from the self and the environment in which they are placed Is a utopia all about a ruler trying to get their people to join. Is it the ruler trying to get the people to agree with them or to please the majority?Are you happy when you are brainwashed?We accept the reality in which we are presented.... Is our democracy really a democracy? We are a government a little bit run by the people.Gay community doesn't have the same rightsIn comparison to the world we have a great democracy but not compared to "true democracy"What about the idea with slavery. We cant have rich without poor, why is it that we still don't have free and enslavedDon't we still have slavery? The gays, Latinos, all of the minoritiesIf someone's freedom is being defined is it really freedom?Definition of ethnography: the study of other cultures if you aren't in it, being objectivePure ethnography not possibleMake the storm worse. Stop following authorityWhen did truman see the light? Car with the radio. Thats when he suspected there was a light to seeHe walked into darkness when he opened the door not into lightCreated the picture of Sylvia....opened the chest map of Fiji and her sweaterDid anything change on the boat. For awhile he thought he was his own god, the world revolves around him,He never saw the man who was controlling himIn a way he was controlling it because he was human stillHarsh realization that the world isn't revolving around him would hurt in real world Kids in the classes were the prisoners too.
