SERIAL ORDER OF MY YouTube AUDIO PODCASTS

Nice thing about all audio podcasts on Anchor (renamed Spotify for Podcasters when Spotify took over Anchor) is that these podcasts are arranged serially by publishing dates and so any Anchor/Spotify podcast on a particular date can be located by its date. Thus, all My audio podcasts (podcastksinha) published on Anchor/Spotify (Spotify for Podcasters) can be quickly located by the date. But the exact dates of audios and videos uploaded on YouTube are not mentioned and so their serial order cannot be determined. YouTube now gives the option of playlists but even playlists do not have exact dates, I think. Foreseeing this problem, I have numbered all My audio podcasts on YouTube serially right from the start, like this: G-0, G-1, G-2, G-3, ... , G-93 (new) - I add the label (new) after each of My LATEST most recent audio podcast(s) uploaded on that same day.

SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY!

I have numbered all My audio podcasts on YouTube serially: G-0, G-1, G-2, G-3, ... , G-62 (latest) - YOU CAN LISTEN TO ANY OF MY YouTube PODCASTS BY JUST TYPING @kishalaysinha AND SEARCHING under VIDEOS! THANKS, YouTube!!!

I think this method is true for ALL uploaders of videos on YouTube - search the uploader's NAME and then CLICK his or her NAME and search under "VIDEOS"!

You can also CLICK the NAME of ANY YouTube channel you are watching and then CLICK "VIDEOS" - and you will get ALL VIDEOS on that YT channel. WOW!

Now we can't blame YouTube algorithm: we can find all YT videos of anyone!

GREAT WORKS OF RABINDRANATH TAGORE (JAINCO)#, p. 294-298

A touching story.

[The story SEEMS very simple on the surface BUT it is possible that it may NOT be as simple as it looks but in fact the one who wrote this simple-seeming story may be recalling Genesis and [her] "orphaned" condition for billions of years. - G]

[This dialog/dialogue sounds funny to Me, but it also reflects shocking satanic treachery of Nazi assassins to block immortality of the human race by KSG. - G]

#Rabindranath Tagore was awarded the Nobel prize for Literature in 1913.

#JAINCO PUBLISHERS (Delhi) should not be confused with JAICO (Mumbai).

GREAT WORKS OF RABINDRANATH TAGORE (JAINCO PUBLISHERS, C-50, Y-3, Dilshad Garden, Delhi-110095; ISBN: 81-89474-00-6; 791 pages; Rs. 195.00)

"... death, the great parting, from which there is no return." (17:35 -17:41)

NOTE:

1. Rabindranath etc. have been reincarnating, getting reborn again and again.

2. Top terrestrial prostitutes are kept eternally young (চিরযৌবনা) and immortal (অমর) [by f***ing gang of Nazi "gods" & "goddesses"]. (Ref. Scholarly talks on YouTube by very well-read scholar Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri নৃসিংহ প্রসাদ ভাদুরী)

3. Rabindranath Tagore was aware that ghost writing is a very old practice. - G

** Translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa

[I have about 12 novels (paperback) by Paulo Coelho: THE SPY (Mata Hari) etc.]

[No terrestrial female should feel SUPERIOR or INFERIOR to any other terrestrial females because the BLUNT TRUTH is that all female members of all terrestrial families are public pr.বে.वे., or private pr.বে.वे., or both public and private pr.বে.वे.]

ELEVEN MINUTES is about prostitute Maria - and naturally reads like hot porn.

But I found to My great shock that to watch My audio podcast G-80 which I had recorded and uploaded to YouTube using Samsung Tab A8, I had to type and search YouTube under:

@kishalaysinha-dk4ph (or @KishalaySinha-dk4ph) - not just @kishalaysinha!!!

Gosh! What to do? I thought calmly about it. Then, as earlier, I used 4G Realme Pad (Tablet) to upload audio podcast G-80 to YouTube using Google Drive and InShot app, and I could find G-80 on YouTube by typing @kishalaysinha and searching under (clicking the name) Kishalay Sinha! Thank God! (What I find very attractive about Samsung smartphone and tablet is the very clear sound.)

(I can now read Kindle app on both 4G Realme tablet and 4G Samsung tablet!)

Of course, I have to type @kishalaysinha-dk4ph ONLY ONCE; @kishalaysinha and @kishalaysinha-dk4ph will appear automatically next time on YT screen!

In future, if I upload any audio podcast to YouTube using Samsung Tab A8, I will also upload the same audio podcast to YouTube using Realme Pad (Tablet). - G

This heart-touching story has the simplicity of "Ruskin Bond" stories. "A TALE OF CITIES" by Dr. Smriti Kumar Sinha reminds Me of A TALE OF TWO CITIES by the English novelist Charles Dickens.]

Narendra and Surabala briefed the guests with all finer details of the house. Surendra and Sunanda were glued to THEIR words.

WALL is used in two senses here:

(1) moss-covered brick boundary walls

(2) wire-mesh (net) walls of the poultry shed kept at the corner of two (moss-covered) boundary walls

It seems that the cock is peeping at a patch of blue sky (looking like a "frayed" jeans rag because of wire grids) through a gap between the two boundary walls.

SOCRATES

Greek didactic philosopher Socrates (with a damn care attitude and shrewish wife Xanthippe) may or may not be a recent sarcastic parody of God in human form (KSG), but this famous ancient Greek philosopher, who has become well-known for the "Socratic method", reminds Me of scientist and peace activist Dr. Linus Pauling (he and his wife Ava Helen Pauling were both very close friends of Dr. Robert Oppenheimer), who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry and for Peace.

Dr. Linus Pauling reminds Me of Mr. Sankar Sinha (Oak Park, IL, USA)/Modi (and his partners Bitosh Sin./Einstein and MGM Maria Goeppert Mayer/Murray Gell-Mann), Dr. Howard S. Ducoff (UIUC) & Mr. D.N. (Dhirendra Narayan) Bezboruah.

MNEMONICS:

Linus - Linnaeus (top biologist), Lenin (top Russian revolutionary "communist")

Carl - Carl Friedrich Gauss (top German mathematician), Karl Marx. (No wonder Linus Carl Pauling was hounded by U.S. intel agents for being a "Communist"!)

Interesting story full of meaning for Me in particular but I am not clear whether "Prometheus" is Mr. Prometheus or Ms. Prometheus and so I will have to listen again to this and other interesting YouTube tutorials on Prometheus Bound and on Prometheus Unbound and perhaps read articles and books on "Prometheus".

Pandaros and Pandora seem alike, but while Pandora in Greek mythology is the first woman, Pandaros in THE ILIAD by HOMER is a Trojan (of Troy, not Tarzan!) who is "not only a good fighter but also a treacherous man." Pandaros is No. 12 in the list of "The Trojans and Their Allies", on p. x, HOMER: THE ILIAD (UBSD WORLD CLASSICS, with Introduction, List of Characters, A Brief Summary of THE ILIAD, Chapter-wise Summaries & Commentaries and Some Important Questions and Answers, plus text of ILIAD - 24 Books or Chapters - in English translation; ISBN 978-81-7476-306-8; Reprint 2007; paperback; 424 pages; Rs. 75).

ILIAD

Iliad by Homer / Hindi summary (17:09) / IIT Insight Insider Target [Zulekha Banu - which seems a fake name - Zulekha sounds like Sulekha] (YouTube)

I learned from this interesting tutorial that "ILIAD"° was the old name of "TROY".

TROY STORY sounds like TRUE STORY. I realized today, however, after I read the summary of the very entertaining ILIAD, that the connected Greek epics ILIAD and ODYSSEY are actually modern symbolic fiction written by a ghost writer as a parody of the much-anticipated war of violent destruction in which God-KSG was going to destroy the entire gang of satanic Nazis led by Zeus / Jupiter / KrS / "Christ" / SAT. (I have English and Assamese translations of ODYSSEY* and an English translation of ILIAD and notes on ILIAD* - a well-known epic full of very funny descriptions of imaginary battle scenes which should be read FOR FUN!)

The Odyssey by Homer | REVIEW (14:36) / Claire Reads Books (YouTube)

[I find fictional ODYSSEY just as ridiculously funny as ILIAD; both recent epics, I seriously believe. "Homer" (ghost writer: "blind"); John Milton (ghost writer who wrote the short poem ON HIS BLINDNESS and the epic poem PARADISE LOST after he became "blind"); German mathematician "Leonhard Euler" (in Russian royal court, he used mathematics to "prove" the existence of God) did a LOT of outstanding mathematical research and DICTATED his mathematical research papers when he became "blind" - insane examples of "blind" geniuses. BUT the unmatched example of overcoming handicaps is deaf, dumb, blind Helen Killer.]

It seems to Me that "HOMER" says nothing about pr. sn. Helen when the Trojan War ended - after so much hullabaloo हल्ला बोल about her! Back to pr. business?

CORRECTION [Dec 8]: for the past few days, I have been feeling the absence of a guidebook on ODYSSEY but I have just discovered that I do have a guidebook on a bookshelf of My study room!

An excerpt from this guide book:

Menelaus is a representative of the sun-god (his red hair), setting the sun-hero (Telemachus) on his quest. But all is not well in the relationship between Menelaus and his most beautiful queen, Helen. The two have just married off their children and now they seem to have a smoldering feud between them.

At the banquet in Telemachus' honor, both Menelaus and Helen are laudatory of Odysseus and agree to tell tales of their association with him... There is a subtle tweak of Menelaus' pride when she proclaims openly that she bathed Odysseus: "I alone recognized him and began to question him, but he was too cunning for me... I had washed and anointed him and had given him clothes ... I had sworn a solemn oath not to betray him to the Trojans ...

Thus Homer confirms that we are still dealing with the same wily, slatternly woman we met in The Iliad.

(p. 55)

It is clear from the above passage that when the Trojan War ended, Helen went back to Menelaus. The word slatternly seems to be euphemistic for "like a slut".

I find surprising sentences & passages in this ABC/ABCD guide to ODYSSEY:

Chapter 6: THE WOMEN OF THE ODYSSEY

The women of the ODYSSEY could have been treated as casually and cavalierly as Andromache and Helen were in the ILIAD. Homer, however, made another choice. In a way, ODYSSEY is not just the tale of the wanderings of Odysseus. The poet has made it, also, into a sort of "catalogue of women," in which he examines women of all kinds and from all walks of life. These feminine portraits are always objective and fair, for Homer never made judgments, and each of these women has a certain appeal. It is interesting to notice, however, that the woman who is most worthy of respect and emulation is not a mortal. Homer seems to comment that no human being, limited as she was by the environment which he portrays, could develop herself in this fashion. His admiration for Athene is evident by the fact that she, and not Penelope or one of the others, is the heroine of the poem and the sole companion and confidante of Odysseus.

(p. 45)

CHARACTERS

MURDERED BY WIFE AND HER BOYFRIEND

Agamemnon

The KING of Mycenae and LEADER of the Achaean expedition to Troy; the story of his MURDER by his WIFE and her LOVER on his RETURN HOME is frequently referred to by Homer, and he is ONE of THE DEAD SOULS with whom Odysseus speaks in Hades (Book XI).

(p. 31)

In Book XI of Homer's THE ODYSSEY, the ghost of Agamemnon in Hades (the underworld) tells Odysseus how his UNFAITHFUL WIFE Clytemnestra and her LOVER Agisthos MURDERED him. (Google)

Compare a similar story in Shakespeare's play HAMLET: the ghost of Hamlet's father, murdered King of Denmark, tells his son how he was MURDERED by his wife (the Queen and Hamlet's mother) and her lover (the late King's brother and Hamlet's uncle) - this shocking story of treachery and murder which I read when I was a schoolboy has HELPED Me again and again to UNDERSTAND and DEAL with Nazi snakes who have kept on appearing in and disappearing from My life.

OTHER CHARACTERS

Penelope

The wife of Odysseus. She is obviously MEANT TO BE a PARAGON of MARITAL FIDELITY, having WAITED TWENTY YEARS for her HUSBAND to RETURN. She is SERIOUS and industrious, a PERFECT WIFE and mother, BUT is LACKING in the fascination and zest for life that the OTHER WOMEN of the ODYSSEY possess.

(p. 35)

Calypso

The SEA NYMPH who KEEPS Odysseus CAPTIVE FOR NINE YEARS and who, in HOPE of making him HER HUSBAND, offers him IMMORTALITY. Her presence in the ODYSSEY is possibly meant as a counterpoint of Penelope, whose husband she is ABLE to TEMPT, but NOT to SNARE [TRAP]. Odysseus' adventure with her allows the poet an opportunity for his HERO to show his own sense of duty and responsibility, demonstrating that DESPITE TEMPTATION he is as FAITHFUL to his wife as she is to him.

(p. 37)

Circe

The ENCHANTRESS who transforms the CREW of Odysseus into SWINE (Book X) and who, WHEN SHE FINDS that she CANNOT CONQUER Odysseus himself, takes him as a LOVER and helps him with ADVICE and supplies on his voyage.

(p. 37)

Tiresias

The most famous of all Greek seers. The legend was that in compensation for his blindness the gods had given him his awesome visionary powers. His spirit is consulted by Odysseus in Hades in Book XI, where he warns the hero of the dangers still awaiting him and predicts his ultimate success and happy life.

(p. 36)

Theoclymenus

A fugitive soothsayer who is given passage to Ithaca by Telemachus. He warns the suitors of their impending doom in Book XX, but is unheeded.

(p. 36)

Penelope

When Odysseus has slaughtered all the suitors, he has a meeting with Penelope who is still not absolutely sure that this man is her own husband and therefore behaves somewhat indifferently towards him. However, when Odysseus talks about the secret of the bed on which they used to sleep, she realizes that this man is indeed her own husband... Odysseus holds his dear wife in his arms, so loyal and so true. And glad indeed they are to lie once more together on the bed on which they used to lie in times gone by.

(p. 50)

Seductresses [honeytraps]

Women are very important figures in the ODYSSEY, and one of the most prominent roles they fulfill is that of seductress.

Circe and Calypso are the most obvious examples of women whose love becomes an obstacle to Odysseus's return.

Homer presents many other women whose irresistible allure threatens to lead men astray. [Cf. "La Belle Dame sans Merci" poem by John Keats; see YouTube]

The Sirens enchant Odysseus with their lovely song, and even Penelope, despite all of her contempt for the suitors, seems to be leading them on at times.

While these women do gain a certain amount of power through their sexual charms, they are ultimately all subject to divine whim, forced to wait and pine for love when it is absent.

(p. 66)

The Wedding Bed

The wedding bed in Book 23 symbolizes the constancy of Penelope and Odysseus's marriage... it is where the happy couple spends its first night in each other's arms since Odysseus's departure for Troy twenty years earlier. The symbolism is heightened by the trick that Penelope uses to test Odysseus, which revolves around the immovability of their bed - a metaphor for the unshakable foundation of their love.

(p. 67)

Disguises [body transformations]

The gods [and goddesses] of Greek literature often assume alternate forms [transform their bodies] to commune with humans. In the ODYSSEY, Athena appears on earth disguised as everything from a little girl to Odysseus's friend Mentor to Telemachus. Proteus, the Old Man of the Sea whom Menelaus describes in Book 4, can assume any form to escape capture. Circe, on the other hand, uses her powers to change others, turning an entire contingent of Odysseus's crew into pigs with a tap of her wand.

Odysseus is a natural master of disguise, and the plot of the epic often turns on his deception. By withholding his true identity from the Cyclops and using the alias "Nobody," for example...

Homer's Famous Epics

The ancient Greeks had an optimistic view on life, a view that makes nice, happy endings, but are unfortunately not very realistic.

(p. 7)

The Greeks believed that in a battle between good and evil, good will triumph in the end. The view that good triumphs over evil can be seen in the epic when Odysseus (good) kills all the suitors (bad) against virtually impossible odds.

ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF ODYSSEY

What Translations of "The Odyssey" Should I Read? (6:25) / Jay Leeming (YouTube)

All translations of the world's greatest literary classics are bound to be very nice just as all different translations of the Bible are equally interesting. I have about 15 excellent English translations of the Bible besides excellent translations into Bengali, Assamese, and Hindi, not because I have any interest in Christianity or any another religion, which has been used as a tool by retarded Nazis to divide the human race, but because of the excellent LITERARY quality of Bible prose in any language. I have excellent translations of the Indian classics Gita, Ramayan, Mahabharat, and Shrimad Bhagavat in English and some Indian languages. Any translator who decides to translate a world CLASSIC from the original language into another language must be eminently qualified to do the job of translation. I have an English translation of the Koran which also has the original Arabic text (which looks like incomprehensible hieroglyphics or Pitman's shorthand to Me at present), the English translation on a page facing the corresponding Arabic text on the opposite page; I have read scary descriptions of HELL in the Koran.

I have two or more translations of WAR AND PEACE, ANNA KARENINA, DON QUIXOTE, MADAME BOVARY, CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, THE KARAMAZOV BROTHERS, THE IDIOT etc. India which is flooded with inexpensive paperbacks is the IDEAL country for all book lovers. Hardbound books sold in America are too expensive for the American public. I wonder if Americans could ask friends in India to send them many inexpensive paperbacks. American paperbacks are easily available in India. ALIBRIS and BETTER WORLD BOOKS - HQ in USA - are international online sellers of used books, with millions of used books in stock.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF HOMER IN VERSE FORM (AS A LONG POEM)

10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Reading The Odyssey by Homer (25:17) / books by leynes (YouTube)

I bought an English verse translation of THE ODYSSEY long ago, but I have not had the time to read aloud any portion of this long poem in English written by ALBERT COOK, Brown University, and published by W.W. NORTON (New York, London). Of course, it is very likely to be a translation by a "GHOST translator".

Much of My time is spent writing blog posts trying to UPLIFT the pathetic but intelligent human race, so I cannot devote as much time as I wish to reading interesting books & recording passages from them to upload audio podcasts.

WISDOM OF INDIA by Lin Yutang (JAICO) contains a very sweet and musical English translation of the Ramayana (the English translation was by Romesh Dutt, I think). I bought WISDOM OF INDIA by Lin Yutang (JAICO) paperback book many years ago, and I still have it. After many years of reading books, it seems to Me that both Lin Yutang and Romesh Dutt are very likely to be fake names of a ghost writer who is not mortal but immortal like Athene in ODYSSEY (who has endless time at her disposal to keep on writing and publishing endless books).

I also have a copy of পিকিঙৰ এখন্তেক by লিন ইউটাঙ (Lin Yutang) published by কৌস্তুভ প্ৰকাশন, মিলন নগৰ, ডিব্ৰুগড় (অসম); ২০১০; HARD BINDING; ৮২0 পৃষ্ঠা (820 pages); মূল্য : ৩৮০.০০ টকা মাত্ৰ (Price: Rs. 380/-) - উপন্যাস (it is a historical novel) - an ASSAMESE translation of LIN YUTANG's MOMENT IN PEKING, published by KAUSTUBH PRAKASHAN, [Milan Nagar], DIBRUGARH-786003, ASSAM, INDIA. (The story seems to be mainly about Chinese concubines - about "উপ-পত্নী"s.)

ACHILLES

The Iliad is much more about the Rage of Achilles*. He is the MAIN character around whom the poem has been spun. Homer provides graphic descriptions of the war but what is CENTRAL to the poem is the character of Achilles. [HOMER: THE ILIAD (UBSPD), p. 422]

BIRDS

The story goes that during one of the many raids of the Achaians [Greeks] on the towns near Troy, they captured two beautiful girls, Chryseis and Briseis. These birds were awarded to Agamemnon, the commander-in-chief of the [Greek] army, and to Achilles, the greatest warrior of the Achainans [Greeks; is Acha connected with the Hindi word अच्छा which means "good"? God is related to "good" etymologically; Myrmidons are the soldiers of Achilles - Myrmidons sounds like mermaids!]... Agamemnon agrees to release the girl [Chryseis] on condition that he gets Achilles' girl, Briseis. The demand infuriates Achilles and he withdraws all his troops from the battlefield. Neither he nor any of his troops [Myrmidons!] would fight against the Trojans... Agamemnon returns [!] Chryseis to her father [Chryses, priest of Apollo] and sends his soldiers to collect Briseis. Surprisingly, Achilles surrenders [!] without a fight [Achilles not interested in pr.].

List of Characters in THE ILIAD

There are many characters in THE ILIAD and it is necessary for a proper understanding that you have a list of them as a kind of ready reckoner. This list is divided into three sections: the Archaians, the Trojans and their allies, and the gods and goddesses in Greek mythology. (To have a fuller account of these characters, you should consult the endnotes which have been provided by the Greek scholar, E.V. Rieu, in the Penguin edition.)

The Achaians (or the Greeks)

1. Achilles: He is the central character of THE ILIAD and the greatest warrior of the Achaians. But his greatest weakness is his pride...

2. Agamemnon: He is the king of Mycenae. He is also the commander-in-chief of the expedition against Troy and the brother of Menelaos.

3. ...

4. ...

5. ...

6. ...

7. ...

8. Helen: She was originally married to Menelaos but ran away to Troy with Paris and became his wife...

9. ...

10. ...

11. Menelaos is the husband of Helen who was abducted by Paris. He is also the brother of Agamemnon.

12. The Myrmidons [mnemonic: Mermaids] are the soldiers of Achilles.

13. Nestor is one of the oldest warriors...

14. Odysseus is the cleverest Archaian, apart from being a great warrior himself.

15. ...

The Trojans and Their Allies

1. ...

2. Aeneas is the son of Aphrodite and a brave warrior.

3. ...

4. ...

5. Chryseis ...

6. ...

7. ...

8. Hekuba is the wife of Priam. Hektor is her son.

9. Hektor is the prince of Troy and the son of Priam and Hekuba. Hektor is the commander of all Trojan forces. He is considered as the greatest of Trojan warriors and one of the central characters in THE ILIAD. He is a responsible soldier, conscious of his duties towards his people. If he has a fault it is that he tends to boast about his exploits and is very conscious of his reputation.

10. ...

11. Cassandra is the daughter of Priam and Hekuba, and Hektor and Paris' sister.

12. ...

13. Paris ...

14. ...

15. Priam is the king of Troy. Although he cannot take part in the fighting because of his advanced age, he is a man of great courage and integrity.

The Gods and Goddessss

1. Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus and is considered the goddess of love. She is the mother of Aeneas and so she fights on the TROJAN side.

2. Apollo is the son of Zeus. He fights on the TROJAN side.

3. ...

4. Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and is considered the goddess of chastity and hunting. She fights on the TROJAN side but her contribution is insignificant.

5. Athena is the daughter of Zeus and is considered the goddess of wisdom. She fights on the ACHAIAN side

6. Dione is the mother of Aphrodite.

7. Hades is the god of hell and the ruler of the whole underworld.

8. Hera is the sister and wife of Zeus. She is determined to see the defeat of Troy and would go to any length to achieve her goal.

9. Hermes is a representative of the gods and 'carries' the dead souls to Hades.

He is on the ACHAIAN side

10. ...

11. ...

12. Thetis is the mother of Achilles. She supports her son [Achilles] against Agamemnon but is not directly involved in the war.

13. ...

14. Zeus is the supreme god and king of Olympos...

Chapter-wise Summaries and Commentaries (p. 409-424)

THE ILIAD consists of 24 books or chapters. This section provides a summary of these books with commentaries on what they mean. In doing so, E.V. Rieu's translation in the Penguin Classics series has been used. (p. 409)

TWO BIRDS

Book - I

THE QUARREL

THE ILIAD is a word which means "a poem about Ilium" (i.e. Troy) and it opens with an invocation to the Muse of poetry:

The Wrath [violent anger] is my theme. Let us begin, goddess of song, with the angry parting that took place between Agamemnon, King of Men and the great Achilles.

The rage of Achilles is the theme of the poem, the mainspring of the plot.

The story goes that during one of the many raids of the Achaians on the towns near Troy, they captured two beautiful girls, Chryseis and Briseis. These birds were awarded to Agamemnon, the commander-in-chief of the army, and to Achilles, the greatest warrior of the Achaians.

Chryes [CRIES?], the father of Chryseis, comes to the Achaian camp with a huge ransom to rescue his daughter. Agamemnon refuses and rudely asks the old man to leave. In despair, the father turns to god Apollo for help. Apollo answers the old man's prayer and soon a terrible plague sweeps through the Achaian army, killing thousands. Achilles is incensed and asks a fortune teller the cause of the plague. The fortune teller agrees to explain the cause of the plague, in return for protection.

The fortune teller tells Achilles that the plague is a curse upon the army because Agamemnon refused to release Chryseis. When Agamemnon is publicly named as the person responsible for the calamity, he agrees to release the girl on condition that he gets Achilles' girl, Briseis. The demand infuriates Achilles and he withdraws all his troops from the battlefield. Neither he nor any of his troops [Myrmidons!] would fight against the Trojans.

Agamemnon tries to appease the god Apollo. He returns Chryseis to her father and sends his soldiers to collect Briseis. Surprisingly, Achilles surrenders [bird Briseis] without a fight.

But the hurt that Achilles suffered still lingers and he appeals to his mother Thetis to use her influence with Zeus, the god of gods, to ensure that the Trojan armies defeat his fellow Achaians. Achilles believes that when the Achaians realise that they were losing their war because he was not with them, they would betray Agamemnon and join him [and bring back to to him bird Briseis]. Meanwhile, Thetis visits Zeus who agrees to help.

Zeus is restless all night after he made his promise to Thetis that he would help Trojans defeat Agamemnon and the Achaians. He decided that the best way would be to send King Agamemnon a false dream. The King is absolutely convinced of his dream that he could defeat the Trojans in a long struggle. The King prepares an assault on Troy.

VERY FUNNY TEST RESULT

But before the assault begins, Agamemnon tests the loyalty of his troops by saying that after nine years it is best they all go home and rest. Much to his surprise, HIS TROOPS JUMP WITH JOY AND START RUSHING TO THEIR BOATS TO GET AWAY FROM THE SCENE OF BATTLE. Odysseus, guided by the goddess Athena, intervenes and advises the troops to stay behind and finally capture Troy. Backed by Nestor, the armies stay behind and a grand show of strength is organised.

HOMER: THE ILIAD (UBSD), p. 409-411

[Battle scenes in ILIAD look like violent fights in American football games. - G]

[G-KSG dreamed in a TRANCE at UIUC that He WAS GOING TO BEAT "KrS" SAT.]

[God is not interested in earthly fake romance which is euphemism for s. and pr. and He is not moved by stupid overacting and idiotic treachery of f. terrestrials.]

VERY FUNNY WILFUL CHARACTER ACHILLES

The Achaians are routed. Hektor orders his men to camp out in order to prevent the Achaians from escaping in the darkness of the night.

The Achaians are completely demoralised. Agamemnon suggests they return home because all seems to be lost.

Old Nestor has a meeting with Agamemnon. He tells him that the general feeling among the soldiers is that they were failing because of the absence of Achilles and that efforts must be made to bring him into battle. Telemonian Aias and Odysseus are sent as emissaries. Achilles listens to them patiently but refuses to budge from his position. His pride would not allow him to make any concession; in fact, he tells them that he proposes to sail for home along with his men.

It is possible that till now our sympathies would be with Achilles because Agamemnon was clearly in the wrong when he took away Bresis* but at this crucial juncture, Achilles reveals his true colours: he is an extremely proud, self-centered person to whom his own interests matter; everything else is secondary.

DANGEROUS WIFE: INFIDELITY AND TREACHERY

[Penelope - Pan elope! - elopes with all (pan)! - G]

Penelope and Clytemnestra

Penelope exhibits themes of infidelity, power and intelligence so that she is viewed by the audience as dangerous to the hero (who is also her husband). Penelope is the prototype for the "dangerous-wife" inasmuch as [because] she is potentially treacherous to her husband [Odysseus]: her character embodies themes [traits] that do not offer security to the role of the hero.

Homer's Penelope and Aeschylus's Clytemnestra share a number of apparent characteristics. First, both women are married to the title characters of the work of literature in which their stories are found. Second, both of their husbands are important Greek heroes who are forced to leave behind kingdoms so that they can fight in Troy. Finally, both queens are left in charge of the kingdoms in their husband's absence because their male children are too young to take on the responsibilities of their missing fathers.

As I have already stated, each of these women is responsible for her husband's kingdom during his absence. Therefore, it follows that infidelity to their absent husbands is an important (and potentially dangerous) character trait. In both of the stories in question, the authors portray the women as unfaithful and (as a result) dangerous to their absent husbands.

Both women's faithfulness to their husbands is highly suspect. Penelope was fraught with suitors [lovers, boyfriends BFs] in her husband's absence. Many men, taking advantage of the king's absence, began to seek his wife and his kingdom. On the surface, Penelope seems like a faithful wife. After all, she purposefully deceives the suitors so that she will not have to actually marry any of them. However, while Penelope might not have wanted to marry any of the suitors, she was still not entirely unhappy with their presence.

The best example of her twofold nature [her double agent nature] is the tapestry story. On the one hand, this story seems to be an example of her faithfulness to her husband [she is afraid and always conscious that her long-absent husband could suddenly arrive at any unexpected moment, and keeping that possibility in mind she keeps ACTING FAITHFUL to her long-absent husband, JUST IN CASE]; on the other hand, it seems to be seen as a clever ploy to keep the suitors near.

Penelope's infidelity does not go unnoticed by her husband either. He REFUSES to REVEAL HIMSELF until after the suitors are gone and she verbally professes her LOYALTY to him. When Odysseus returns to Ithaca, he ONLY REVEALS his identity to his son Telemachus. He and his son RID the palace of the SUITORS, and after this task is done, HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO HIS WIFE SLOWLY. The SEQUENCE of scenes which lead finally to recognition begins at 17.508 [Book 17, line 508]*, when Penelope asks the swineherd Eumaios [Eumaeus - p. 32] to summon the DISGUISED Odysseus so that she may QUESTION him about her husband. But it is only at 23.205 [Book 23, line 205]** after many DIVERSIONS, that SHE BREAKS DOWN IN TEARS at THE FINAL REALIZATION that Odysseus is REALLY HOME.

(p. 216-218)

*"Come, godly Eumaeos, go order the stranger" - HOMER: THE ODYSSEY (W.W. NORTON), [Book 17, line 508], p. 195

*"Go thy way, goodly Eumaeus, and bid the stranger come hither" - BUTCHER AND LANG: THE ODYSSEY OF HOMER (SURJEET PUBLICATIONS), [Book 17, line 508], p. 291

**"So he said, and her knees and her own heart went slack" - HOMER: THE ODYSSEY (W.W. NORTON), [Book 23, line 205], p. 253

So he said, and her knees and her own heart went slack [line 205]

As she recognized the steadfast tokens Odysseus had shown to her [line 206]

"So he spake, and at once her knees were loosened, and her heart melted within her, as she knew the sure tokens that Odysseus showed her." [lines 205, 206]

MURDERED BY WIFE AND HER BOYFRIEND

VERY INTERESTING SCIENCE FICTION

THE KEY TO THE FUTURE

It is the year 12,020 G.E. and the last Galactic Emperor of the Autun dynasty, Cleon I, sits uneasily on the throne. These are troubled times and Cleon is desperate to find a way to calm them. When young Outworld mathematician Hari Seldon arrives on Trantor to present a paper on psychohistory, his astounding theory of prediction, the Emperor believes that his future security may rest on Seldon's prophetic powers.

But Hari Seldon becomes the most wanted man in the Empire as he struggles desperately to keep his remarkable theory from falling into the wrong hands. At the same time he must forge the key to the future - a power to be known as the Foundation!

In PRELUDE TO FOUNDATION, what happened in the many centuries before the events made famous in Asimov's other Foundation novels - hitherto only hinted at - is now revealed.

SECOND FOUNDATION

One man understood the shifting patterns of the inhabited cosmos. This was Hari Seldon, the last great scientist of the First Empire. The mathematics of psychohistory enabled Seldon to predict the collapse of the Empire and the onset of chaos and war. To restore civilization in the shortest possible time, Seldon set up two Foundations.

The First was established on Terminus in the full daylight of publicity. But the Second, 'at the other end of the galaxy', took shape behind a veil of total silence because the Second Foundation guards the laws of psychohistory, which are valid only so long as they remain secret.

When the First Foundation was conquered by a force Seldon had not foreseen - the overwhelming power of a single individual, a mutant called the Mule - the Second Foundation was forced to reveal its existence and, infinitely worse.. a portion of its power. But so far, its location, its most closely guarded secret of all, had been kept hidden. So far. The Mule and the remnants of the First Foundation will do anything to discover it.

FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE

Led by its founding father, the great psychohistorian Hari Seldon, and taking advantage of its superior science and technology, the Foundation has survived the greed and barbarism of its neighboring warrior-planets. Yet now it must face the Empire - still the mightiest force in the Galaxy even in its death throes. When an ambitious general determined to restore the Empire's glory turns the vast Imperial fleet toward the Foundation, the only hope for the small planet of scholars and scientists lies in the prophecies of Hari Seldon.

But not even Hari Seldon could have predicted the birth of the extraordinary creature called the Mule - a mutant intelligence with a power that can turn the strongest-willed human into an obedient slave.

I have the following FOUNDATION sci fi books by ISAAC ASIMOV:

PRELUDE TO FOUNDATION

FOUNDATION

FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE

SECOND FOUNDATION

FOUNDATION'S EDGE

FORWARD THE FOUNDATION

I also have other equally interesting books by science popularizer Isaac Asimov.

Although I bought the six above-mentioned Foundation science fiction novels by Dr. Isaac Asimov several years ago (it seems I bought them in 2009), I have only dipped into these interesting books from time to time but have not yet read any of the books completely. But from the description of the powerful extraordinary "mutant intelligence" named The Mule described on the book covers, "The Mule" sounds like a parody of KSG though I am not sure about it. All these years, I had the impression that Hari Seldon is also a parody of KSG, but today it seemed to Me that "Hari Seldon" could be a fictional representation of BM KrS / BM Ranjan R.N. / Isaac Asimov. I am pretty sure most if not all books by "Isaac Asimov" are ghost-written. I have never thought seriously before about First Foundation and Second Foundation which seemed to have vague locations somewhere inside a Galaxy but today it suddenly seemed very clear to Me that the First Foundation is located on the Earth's surface and that the Second Foundation is inside Earth.
