Synopsis Pierre starts us back into Homer's Iliad again. He begins by asking what it is we are looking for in the Iliad? And why did it gain the status among the Greeks of a sacred scripture? He has us think about focusing on the turn-about of Achilles, the roles of gods and men, and the significance, if any, of the idea of self, myself, selves, etc. It is on this last point that we spend most of the session, collecting all the quotes (from the Balboa translation) where self ('αυτο') is...

Synopsis In this third Friday in the recent Iliad series, we continue to look (using the Balboa translation ) for occurrences of 'αυτο' (Self) in the text of Book 1 of Homer's Iliad , and consider which of these and which should not be with a capital 'S' (Self). Pierre encourages us to gather now all of these together with the work we have done, and see if we can find a pattern in how Homer is using the idea of Self in the Iliad. Next week we will move on to Book 2 and continue our search....

Synopsis Cathy and I (JeffS) had scheduled a time to talk with Pierre to look at our dreams.

In Jeff's case, we looked at Jeff's dream using the same kinds of questions we used looking into the...
