Mina nendodana yami eneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili sisanda kufunda inguqulo efushanisiwe ye The Odyssey. Ngokwesiko kucatshangwa njengendaba yeqhawe eleqa izilo ezihlukahlukene. Nokho ngempela ngokusobala indaba ye-monster edlula amaqhawe ahlukahlukene.

U-Odysseus, vele, ngaphambi kwale ndaba, wayelahle umndeni wakhe ukuze ayolwa futhi abulale isixuku sabantu ayengabazi eceleni kwesixuku sabanye abantu ayengabazi ngoba isixuku sabanye abantu sasiqhudelana. owesifazane njengesiqephu sendawo futhi wenza isivumelwano sempi ukuze ahlanganyele ekubulaweni kwabantu abaningi uma kukhona omunye umuntu owake wantshontsha leyo mpahla.

U-Odysseus wayenombono omuhle wokufihla isixuku sababulali ngaphakathi kwehhashi lezinkuni futhi alibiza ngokuthi isipho, bese ephuma ehhashini ebusuku futhi ahlabe imindeni elele. Lokhu kwenza izimanga emkhakheni wezokuxhumana iminyaka eyinkulungwane. Lapho uGeorge Washington enyonyobela ewela umfula ngobusuku obandulela uKhisimusi eyobulala inqwaba yamahembe abadakiwe abampofu emahembeni abo asebusuku, okuwukuphela kwento eyayishoda kwakuyihhashi lokhuni, nakuba ukulandisa kabusha emakhulwini eminyaka kuye kwanuka nakakhulu sengathi ihhashi lalinayo. wadlula.

Ngemva kokusuka ngomkhumbi kulo lonke udumo lukaTroy, u-Odysseus namadoda ayewayala bafika e-Ismarus. Kunokuba athi sawubona, wanquma ukuthi into engcono kakhulu ayengayenza kungaba ukuzama ukubulala, ukucekela phansi, nokuthatha indawo. U-Odysseus wabulala isixuku samadoda akhe futhi wahamba ngomkhumbi ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka. Ah, inkazimulo.

Khona-ke u-Odysseus namasosha akhe badlula izwe laseCyclopes futhi banquma ukuthi bangadluli kodwa bazame ukubangela inkathazo. Bafika nemithi yokulala abayisebenzisa kuCyclops base bemphuphuthekisa ngomkhonto esweni. U-Odysseus wathola inqwaba yamadoda akhe adliwa futhi wamemeza ngezenzo zakhe ezikhazimulayo ukuze unkulunkulu wolwandle noyise wamaCyclops abalimele ezwe futhi wafunga ukuthi uzobangela ukuhlupheka kwesihogo ku-Odysseus noma noma ubani owamsiza.

U-Odysseus wabe esenenkinga enkulu yokufika ekhaya kangangokuthi wagcina esezweni likankulunkulu welanga, lapho amadoda akhe antshontsha khona impahla yaphezulu, okwaphumela ekubeni uZeus abhubhise umkhumbi wabo. Ekugcineni, u-Odysseus wayesebulele bonke abasebenzi bakhe futhi nguye yedwa owasinda.

Wathola iqembu elisha labantu abaphanayo ukuba limgodukise ngomkhumbi, kodwa lapho libuya ekumshiyeni e-Ithaca, uPoseidon wajikijela umkhumbi wabo ngamatshe wawucwilisa, wababulala bonke ngenxa yokusiza u-Odysseus, owaqhubeka ejabule engazi kodwa ehlela uzungu. udlame obengeziwe.

U-Odysseus umangaze inqwaba yabashayeli bamaqili bomkakhe ababechothoza endlini yakhe ngesikhathi eside engekho. Bathembisa ukuxolisa kanye nokungaphezu kokubuyisela lokho abakumoshile noma abakudlile - iqiniso elikhohlakala kalula njengezithembiso eziningi zokuxazulula nokugcina ukuthula okwenziwa ngaphambi kweMpi YaseGulf noma impi yase-Afghanistan.

U-Odysseus, njengobaba wesiko elide eliye lasithwala ekwenqatshweni kwesiphakamiso saseSpain sokuba nokuqhuma Maine okuphenywe ngokwenqatshwa kwezicelo zokuthula eVietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, njll., kusichithile isiphakamiso sabamangaleli. Wayesewavalele ekamelweni okwakunguye kuphela nabasekeli bakhe ababenezikhali - kuhlanganise nosizo olumangalisayo lwaphezulu. Wabulala abakhongi. Enonkulunkulu ohlangothini lwakhe.

Ngemva kwaleso sigameko esinyantisa igazi, ngaphambi kokuba imindeni yabasheli ababulewe iziphindiselele, unkulunkulukazi waphonsa intethelelo nokuthula e-Ithaca. Lapho indodana yami yabuza ngokushesha ukuthi “Kungani ingakwenzanga lokho ekuqaleni?”

Imvamisa umuntu kufanele aphendule lolo hlobo lombuzo namuhla ebhekise ekukhuphukeni kwesitoko saseRaytheon. Uma kukhona isivumelwano se-Minsk 3 ngeke sihluke ngokuphawulekayo ku-Minsk 2. Kodwa u-Odysseus wayengekho ekukhokhweni kwe-Military Industrial Complex. Wayengazi lutho ngaphandle kokubulala. Kwakuyilokho noma lutho. Zazingekho ezinye izinketho. Izigidi zezinye izinketho, vele, kwadingeka zigwenywe ngokucophelela, kodwa omunye wakwenza lokho ngokwenza sengathi azikho ezinye izindlela, njengoba nje izigidi zabantu namuhla ezingakhokhelwanga ngisho indibilishi ngenxa yalokho zithatha egameni lomRashiya noma wase-Ukraine. uhulumeni.

E-Charlottesville, eVirginia, badilize ezine zezikhumbuzo ezimbi kakhulu edolobheni, zonke ezikhazimulisa impi, zonke zehliselwe phansi ngenxa yobandlululo. Kepha isifanekiso sikaHomer eNyuvesi yaseVirginia sisamile, sihlonipha ubuciko, isiko, kanye nezinkulungwane zeminyaka zokubulawa kwabantu abaningi okujwayelekile. Akukho nesisodwa itshe lesikhumbuzo eliye lakhuphuka lihlonipha ukuthula, ubulungiswa, isenzo esingenalo udlame, idiplomacy, imfundo, ubuciko, ubungane, ukusimama kwemvelo, nanoma yini okufanele uyilangazelele.
