The narrator of the Odyssey invokes the Muse, asking for inspiration as he prepares to tell the story of Odysseus. The story begins ten years after the end of the Trojan War, the subject of the Iliad. All of the Greek heroes except Odysseus have returned home. Odysseus languishes on the remote island Ogygia with the goddess Calypso, who has fallen in love with him and refuses to let him leave. Meanwhile, a mob of suitors is devouring his estate in Ithaca and courting his wife, Penelope, in hopes of taking over his kingdom.

This version handles objects in a D=2 universe in rectangular coordinates. Alas many people are unfamiliar with the laws of physics in flatland (D=2). Therefore it might be better to think of this as a D=3 universe in which all D=3 objects are infinitely tall and translationally invariant along the Z axis. This is not the same as considering a thin “D=2” object embedded in the D=3 universe. Rather, each cell represents an area dx∧dy in the XY plane. The spreadsheet to handle this case can be found in reference 1.

However, this changed allowed the peoples to develop traditions such as synagogue, the Deuternomic code, and a stronger monotheistic belief.
