Odysseus & the Oar: Healing After War and Military Service by Adam Magers Paperb

Description: Odysseus & the Oar by Adam Magers, Karl Marlantes Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Odysseus and the Oar explores Homers Odyssey and relates it to the modern veterans experience in hopes that the veteran can heal and learn from their war and homecoming journey. Publisher Description Odysseus and the Oar was written for military members, veterans, their loved ones, and those who counsel and serve them. Using Homers Odyssey and the experiences of todays veterans, he explores the processes of homecoming, healing, and transformation. This is "the archetype of the warriors return," a phrase coined by Magers that corresponds with the archetypal patterns seen in myths about returning warriors worldwide. Honoring these timeless patterns, Magers argues, is essential for veterans to heal and recover the meaning, vitality, and purpose of their lives.Odysseus and the Oars novel interpretation of the Odyssey is possible because of the authors experiences in combat, his conscious exploration of his post-war dreams through his own Jungian analysis, and because of his expertise in Jungian psychology and mythology. Commentaries on the Odyssey have been written in dozens of languages over hundreds of years, and yet this book goes into territory never before explored, illuminating Homers myth in new ways. Magers shares the storyline as an inner, archetypal reality. We learn that the archetypal imagery in the Odyssey and the dreams of modern combat veterans have an uncanny resemblance to one another because they depict psychological processes and content that is universal, and if we are to help veterans "come home" from war, this must be understood.At once entertaining and instructive, readers will find that theyve taken a journey through ancient Greece, war, the painful process of homecoming, and even into new territory within their own souls. After Odysseus successfully navigates his immediate postwar trials, he is called "to carry an oar far beyond his home, to a land where people do not use salt with their food (whose lives lack flavor) and who do not even know the sea." He has a mission to share the truth of healing that he himself has integrated.
