I wrote a review of *The Odyssey*(I am sorry, all Japanese).
① War PTSD
② Zeus’s laws = international law at the time
③ Criticism of Trump

① Just like in *The Last Samurai*, this is PTSD stemming from guilt over massacres committed during war.

From the depths I cry out to you,
Lord, hear my voice;
let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplication.
If you, Lord, were to take sin into account,
Lord, who could stand?
For with you is forgiveness,
so that you may be feared.
I wait for the Lord; my soul waits,
and I hope in his word.
