The Bushiad and The Idyossey


 


http://www.thebushiad.com/


As vividly described 2,500 years ago in Homer's epic poems of the battle of Troy and the struggle of one warrior to return home The Iliad and The Odyssey, war is the product of powerful, ambitious, often insecure men who have difficulty separating their personal motivations from those of the state. In Homer's works, these conflicts are fomented, aided and abetted by powerful immortal gods who use mortals to satisfy their needs, and who work behind the scenes to fix events and outcomes. As war occurs, the "honor" of battle is always at great cost in lives and suffering.

The blood lust that overtakes the minds and bodies of men on a periodic basis continues unabated in our modern age. In The Bushiad, and The Idyossey the Greek gods of old are supplanted by contemporary corporate gods, also immortal and with insatiable needs for increased wealth and power. Like Homer's Greek gods they do all they can to make sure the outcome is fixed.
