A Night With⊠Odysseus: the Challenge of Return in a Changing World.
Join us for the new session of our discussion series **âA Night WithâŠâ**, where we dive into timeless myths and their universal messages.
Following our last session, where we explored the journey of Orpheus, this the time to delve into the *nostos* (gr. "homecoming") of Odysseus, and moreover into this complex but manifold character.
**What to expect:**
* I will open the meetup with a short introduction to Odysseusâ myth and share (or suggest) a few possible interpretations and connections.
* After that, the floor is yours! Bring your thoughts, reflections, and any links you see between this myth and other domains, e.g. literature, art, philosophy, psychology, history or even your own creative work.
* If youâre an artist and your work resonates with the divine twins' story, feel free to share it with the group.
**Before the event:**
Take 5 minutes to read the quick snippet of Odysseusâ myth (provided belowđđœ) and think of:
* A book, artwork, or personal reflection that relates to her story.
* Any modern parallels or insights youâd like to discuss.
This is a space for **open dialogue, creativity, and shared exploration**.
###
### **đThe story of Odysseus in Brief**
**đïž Chaper 1. Before Troy â The Mind of Odysseus**
Odysseus, king of Ithaca, is not the strongest Greek heroâthat is Achillesâbut he is the most intelligent, strategic, and persuasive.
His defining traits:
**Metis**
**Persuasion and diplomacy**
**Pragmatism:**
Key early acts of wit:
1\. Avoiding the war \(feigned madness\)
When Helen is taken to Troy, Odysseus tries to avoid joining the war. He pretends to be insaneâploughing the fields and sowing salt.
But Palamedes tests him by placing his infant son Telemachus in front of the plough. Odysseus swerves to avoid harming him, revealing his sanity.
2\. Recruiting Achilles
Odysseus is sent to find Achilles, who is hidden among women to avoid war.
Odysseus cleverly lays out jewels and weapons; Achilles instinctively chooses the weapons, revealing himself.
3\. The Oath of Tyndareus
Before Helenâs marriage, Odysseus had proposed a solution to avoid conflict: all suitors swear to defend the chosen husband.
This idea later binds the Greek kings together in the Trojan War.
**âïž Chapter 2. The Trojan War â Strategy Over Strength**
During the ten-year war, Odysseus becomes indispensable not for combat, but for turning points.
Key contributions:
1\. The theft of the Palladium
2\. The Trojan Horse \(his greatest invention\)
**đ Chapter 3. The *Nostos ***
After victory, Odysseusâ journey home takes another 10 years. This is where his intelligence is constantly tested, but also where his flaws emerge.
Main episodes:
**đ§ The Cyclops (Polyphemus)**
**đ This triggers Poseidonâs curse**
**đ The Bag of Winds**
**đ§ Circe**
**â°ïž The Underworld**
**đ¶ The Sirens**
**âïž Scylla and Charybdis**
**đïž Calypso**
**đ Chapter 4. Return to Ithaca**
After 20 years, Odysseus returns, but does not reveal himself.
His palace is overrun by suitors. They consume his wealth and pressure Penelope to remarry.
He returns as a beggar, observes before acting, thus testing loyalty (servants, son Telemachus, wife).
Gradually reveals himself only to trusted individuals:
Telemachus and a few loyal servants
Penelope in her final attempt to stop the suitors, launches a challenge:
only the man who can string Odysseusâ bow can marry her.
None succeed. Odysseus (in disguise) strings it effortlessly. He reveals himself and kills them.
**âïž Chapter 5. After Ithaca: Beyond the Happy Ending**
The story doesnât simply end with victory.
Families of the suitors seek revenge, and civil conflict threatens Ithaca.
Athena intervenes by imposing peace
Ends the cycle of violence.
đđ**Principal ancient sources:**
* Homer, *Iliad*
* Homer, *Odyssey*
* Sophokles, *Ajax*, *Philoktetes*
* Euripides, *Hecuba*, *Cyclops*

Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

ââââââââââââ
Engaging in menâs work is the new way to forge friendships while being open-minded to personal growth. Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work.
Open Menâs Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback.
We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of societyâs deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating â and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet.
