In reply to Jaynes' analysis misses a lot

You show up so many years later. hahahahahah

Yeah a whole bunch has been left out for chrissakes. hahah

I point this out, I hope, in the newer analysis.

The Iliad is about something that happened in the time of Moses; Twelve Hundred BC

But the Iliad as written in 750 BC by this blind guy is probably different.

And, in 350 BC the narrative has probably changed.

There were subtractions and additions as I attempted to point out.

Jaynes had this idea that just flummoxed me.

And I liked his book. and he gave me ideas.

Something changed over the malleania

And in 2016 the narrative has probably changed further.

I just love the fact that you, Moat, would go back 7 years and respond.

You kill me Moat.

I mean, Mr. Smith has passed and I weep about this.

And others have also passed. I have written about their passing over the years.

But I get to read from you and others.....

Thank you Moat for even acknowledging that this old blog exists.

No kidding.

In reply to The Origin of Consciousness

Jaynes' analysis misses a lot of what is happening in the Iliad.
The use of metaphor and simile constantly frame the story in a way that the narrator does not explain. His job is to tell it. That is what is done.
If you or I want to look behind the curtain, the narrator leaves only a series of unexplained things to consider. Something that has been left out.
