Written by a natural scientist, this book is an essay on universal
consciousness, which the author explores using a comparative
approach borrowed from the neurosciences and Physics. A super
sentient being, God is relative to a level of organization and is
necessarily hidden for sentient beings of lower levels. Other books
by the same author: Dirfyan Elegy: Poems of Passage (2010); Far
Pitched Tents: Poems of War (2011); Rape in Ahmetaga: A sacrifice
(fiction, 2011); The Iliad - Twenty Centuries of Translation
(criticism 2012); The Iliad - The Male Totem (criticism 2013);
Fotis (Fiction, 2013); Parmenides: The World as Modus Cogitandi
(2013)
A novel reading of Parmenides' poem by a natural scientist. The
author challenges the traditional ontological interpretation of the
poem. Evidence is presented in support of an alternative thesis
which views the poem as an epistemological essay on method in
natural science.

An enigmatic short story that cuts into the darkness of the male
soul. A simple story of a retired man. A lunch under a mulberry
tree that opens the doors to the simple joys of life, the hidden
pain, drama and despair. A Kafka like nightmare.
The author presents a radically novel analysis of the Iliad based
on new concepts taken from the natural sciences, especially
neuroscience. His "succedaneum theory" attempts to provide a
framework within which several issues (behavioral as well as
aesthetic) can be dealt with more parsimoniously.
The Iliad is about "klea andron," the glorious and terrible deeds
of men in relation to other men, the raw content of the soul of
man, but not of woman. It is a vast lagoon of dream fragments of
the male unconscious, haunted with eternal shadows that compete,
strut, fight, kill and rape, and above all seek the approval of
other men. In this book, I have traced the history of the Iliad
from papyrus, to parchment, to paper, to e-book. Next, I have
looked critically into the first ten lines of Book 1 of the Iliad
in the Latin, French, Greek (vernacular), and lastly English
translations, beginning with the first translations of Hall, and
Chapman. New translations of passages recovered from papyri and
parchment, done by the present author, are included. Lastly, a
theory of translation of poetry is attempted.
