Beskrivelse
"Awakening to One's Conscience: Inner Journey into Human Nature {3} by Art Aeon" is a fictional narrative poem in tercet stanzas. It unfolds imaginary episodes which follow the Helen's crucial revelation of the human causes of the Trojan War, in the numinous dream of Homer-Outis, the bard of the Odyssey. The characters Odysseus and Penelope adventure to Troy. On the way, they meet the characters Idomeneus in Crete, Diomedes at sea, Chryseis in Thebe, Tecmessa, and Telamon in Troy. Overcoming many formidable adversities, Odysseus and Penelope fulfill eventually the Helen's last wish to be united with Paris in Troy even as ashes, but they are captured by new Trojan king Helenus. In magnanimous foresights, Helenus sets free his worst foe Odysseus to serve Aethon, the holy sage at the shrine in Mt. Ida. Odysseus pursues a new life as a humble hermit with sincere repentance of his past life. Penelope becomes a trusty friend to Queen Andromache in Helenus's new kingdom. One day, Odysseus finds a lad, who is identified as the son of Helen by Paris, called Ganymede. He succeeds to King Helenus. Odysseus and Penelope learn from wise Aethon about the wisdom and theology of the ancient Egypt. They realize that personified deities are not real entities but mere wishful illusions, invented by humans in their minds. Eventually, the character-listener Homer-Outis becomes enlightened, and he confesses to the character-narrator Odysseus in sincere penitence that he has been misled in proud vanity to follow guileful minstrels who abused hoax muses as their poetic conceits to justify their travesties of absurd divine affairs. He vows to sing of the plain truth deep from his own conscience without the poetic conceit of phantom 'muses'. Odysseus and Homer-Outis become mysteriously transfigured into one enlightened being. At this moment, the imaginative great bard Homer-Outis wakes up from his numinous dream, inspired afresh to write a new epic: "Inner Journey into Human Nature."
