not sure why exactly, but in the later greek flow mids the aegean civilization [1] it got standardized given glorious existentialist narrative for edification of masses, logically so as societies thriving on scarcity would boost only epic hype, which in turn will mold heroes by default, at least the elites had have such intent, but as we know later with Christianity followed deconstruction of that very same pagan poetic social engineering hype, eventually which resurfaced in renaissance, and since the european enlightenment era onwards steamed in full mode yet again … but recently while more and more the same eratic hype deflates due to demystification of all neoplatonist infiltration mids whole euroatlantic intellectual cauldron which shaped that very same enlightenment era idols [2] we can also yet again as Christians escape the trap of longing for wrong utopian ideals chasing the perfect eros in ourselves, and in opposition to accept the fall the weakness the burdens and temptations as springboard instead bullet in the head, what for the pagan and neopagan mind is disgusting wrong mimesis mold, tho in Christianity the acceptance comes not in eugenic idealism of shear purity by default for all, but through the embracing of weaknesses also in same time elevating the need for repentance coz restoration, instead purge of all unfit to meet the perfect fall and/or forgetting about through retweaking ethos with eros by neopagan occult means [2-9] so wake up in time coz the very process of repentance asks for free but selfdenial of the hooks thrown by the spirit’of’this’world’anathema’to’him what comes most usefully comes through Holy Mysteries of Confession and Eucharist in Orthodox Christianity [3-8-5][4] altho if the same are not done in totality of its might surely will be on level of half repaired car that yet again and again will end up in abyss and as we are reminded by the Holy Fathers the later damage is becoming even worst for repair coz as Christians we are most valuable asset to demons’anathema’to’them!
“After Tragedy: The Romance of the Lowly God” is the doctoral dissertation by Dr. David Woods, completed at the University of California, The academic work explores literary interpretations of tragedy, analyzing how the concept of romanticism interacts with the theology of a humble, suffering, or “lowly” Almighty Lord …
Core Themes Explored
The dissertation examines the friction between grand, tragic literary structures and the redemptive, often subversive power of grace. Key focuses typically involve:
- Redemption and Tragedy: How narratives allow for hope or “romance” to overcome the finality of tragedy, moving away from pure despair.
- The Lowly God: A study of divine humility, focusing on how a humble or suffering Lord connects with the human experience of pain.
