The Wooden Horse -- It Begins

The flood myth, Keld, p. 555:

In a spectacular historical retrospective, Plato (as in the Timaeus) provides an account of how existing civilization and its laws have arisen. Possibly inspired by the myth of how Zeus launched a flood on the world to punish the wicked people of the Bronze Age, in which, as in the case of Noah, only Prometheus' son Deukalion and his wife were saved on an ark, Plato imagines that there existed a highly developed human world which was destroyed in a catastrophe reminiscent of the Fall of Man.

Only mountain shepherds survived, and they lived long without hostility. [This is at the top of page 556.] But gradually larger social groups were formed requiring rulers and laws, and they began to make war upon each other, each with their own view of the law.

The Wooden Horse, Keld Zeruneith, c. 2007. 

External vs internal reality; Orestes, p. 475
Avenging goddesses of his mother, Klytemnestra: the Semnai (408); the highly honored; while these furies in the Elektra are called Keres (1252), and in Iphigenia at Tauris are referred to Erineyes (292) — p. 475

They will change their names once again.

Euripides does not distinguish these furies — as external or internal reality — the important thing is that Orestes has come to an awareness of himself as a subject, as something essentially different from his surroundings. — p. 475

He has attained “self-knowledge.”

Suffered from PTDS — p. 475 — the jerking of his head.

With the death of Orestes and Elektra, Menelaos inherits their kingdoms. They came from Thebes. Wow.

Orestes kills Helen (bottom of p. 475)
As daughter of Zeus, Helen cannot die but appears in an airy vision above the palace roof and is taken to Mt Olympos. (top of page 476)

Orestes -- The Erinyes of Conscience

Page 474: Aeschylus clearly saw it as his primary task to describe the establishment of the Areopagus Council as a transition from maternal to paternal rule and thereby the foundation of Athenian democray.... page 575: .... Orestes kills Helen in order to have the honor of killing the woman who was the cause of the misery and death of so many young warriors and has cast shame upon the female sex. 

Again, Homer throws out maternal rule / female primacy and pivots to paternal rule / male primacy. This is the very opposite that Camilla Paglia argues in Sexual Personae per ChatGPT.
