  • Thanks for this, I have no context for the original outside of common knowledge and Oh Brother Where Art Thou.

    It felt to me like this was a story of a soldier that committed atrocities in a war and felt so bad that he wasn’t able to come home and face his family. The lotus flower seemed to be a drug (heroine?) that he took to forget his awful deeds. Then he finally cleaned up and returned home. This seemed to be what the metaphor was in the movie.

    The atrocities were described as “breaking Zeus’s law”. You mentioned breaking the law by killing the sheep. But does the story talk about breaking Zeus’s lawn by attacking the Trojans?
