Key Notes
diagnosis
In Jiang's reading, Dido's love for Aeneas costs her pride, reputation, people, and identity, the opposite of Odysseus being resurrected by returning home to Penelope.
diagnosis
The word about the brooch resurrects Penelope's spirit: her mind remains stuck in present danger, but her soul always knew and her heart now knows Odysseus is alive.
model
Odysseus stringing the bow represents the resurrection and realignment of his mind, spirit, soul, identity, and worldview.
diagnosis
Penelope's recognition of the bed sign finally aligns her mind, spirit, and soul, making her alive again and letting her acknowledge Odysseus as the love of her life.
model
Jiang says he will teach the secret to resurrect Homer and Dante inside the student, but only as a sample requiring lifelong dedication and abandonment of the world.

model
Human life is breathed directly by God and desires God always, so resurrection and reincarnated growth are reasonable within Dante’s model.
diagnosis
The accepted tomb theory treats the pyramid as a resurrection machine, but Jiang argues the missing bodies inside pyramid sarcophagi create a major logical problem for that theory.
