    53. archetypes-listed in 54
    a. Individuation-development of various structures
    b. Integration- process of unifying all of these developed archetypes together into a whole
    person
    c. Other archetype are attracted to self archetype because it is the one that binds all of the
    archetypes into a feeling of oneness and firmness. Yearns for you to be organized and
    structured but at the same time it yearns to be unique. The restless heart of Odysseus
    and all of us. (this plays a part, the sense of oneness and firmness is directed at other
    ids). Self Archetype in Odysseus- He is the self archetype of the entire crew and all his
    people. Our hero is in essence the salvation of all the other incomplete characters. We
    see Odysseus suffering deep in his heart because of the recklessness of his crew at the
    beginning of the Odyssey
    d. This relates to Odysseus because he inherited the trickster characteristic from his
    father Laertes who inherited it from Hermes.
    e. Tricks the Cyclops

    g. Polytropos- Many tricks

    i. Anima/animus and shadow are important for Telemecus because he has no male
    role model, anima is over developed due to female role model
    j. Odysseus Persona, his face to the Phaecians, compares stick to mast of ship go
    grab their interests
    54. Persona, anima/animus, shadow, self, hero, trickster-
     Persona-outward face. Persona is Latin for mask
     Shadow- own gender interactions. Strongest archetype so it has the potential to overpower
    other archetype
     Self-the organizational principal, order
     Anima/animus-male and female, develop seeds of opposite gender in you with interaction with
    the opposite sex. Inward face
     Trickster- Primitive, infantile, uncivilized
    55. Theocritus- 3rd century BC writer. Read Theocritus 11 (ACM399-401) Probably will be
    passage identification from it.
    56. Lucian- First “science fiction” writer. Took works of homer and turned them into
    parodies
    57. Orpheus-Watch the movie if you didn’t… lots of things he can ask you from there. Pretty
    much know the spark notes of Orpheus’ story. He is extremely talented musically and it
    is believed that he can control anyone/anything with his music. Trees, rocks, rivers, etc.
    He travels into the underworld to bring back his love. See katabasis.
    58. Orphism- a religion based on the works of the poet Orpheus.
    59. Katabasis-a military retreat….OR entering the underworld- Orpheus enters the
    underworld in order to bring Eurydice back to the world of the living. Odysseus goes to
    the underworld to get advice on how to get back home.
    60. Life-death-life, Peace-War, Truth-Falsehood—Honestly don’t know what this means…
    I’m guessing that you have to understand the concept of people dying, going to the
    underworld then being brought out of it again. For peace-war I assume you should be
    able to relate it to Achilles’ shield.

    64. Clytemnestra
