This entry is wrong[edit]

Nekyia is not really a synonym for katabasis (journey to the underworld). Rather, it is(according to LSJ) a "rite by which ghosts were called up and questioned about the future." In Odyssey 11, the ceremony acts as a virtual katabasis, as it roughly serves the same function. But it is not a literal journey to the underworld such as those undertaken by Heracles, Orpheus, Aeneas, etc. A distinction without a difference, perhaps, but still.

Reading James Hillman The Dream and the Underworld I have found this reference about nekyia: Albrecht Dietrich, Nekyia. Beiträge zur Erklärung der neuentdeckten Petrusapokalypse, Leipzig, B.G. Teubner, 1893 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.48.31.176 (talk) 16:48, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

wrong citation?[edit]

in reference number 4, is mentioned a painting by Bosch, but I think is a citation of words of the author from where the quote is taken, not a quote from the book of the Odyssey like it appears to be 186.141.198.219 (talk) 05:50, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
