Human Story Lab Introduction (Human Story Lab 소개)

Human Story Lab Introduction Human Story Lab is an archive that organizes the stories and knowledge created by human beings. Since ancient times, people have tried to understand the world through narratives and reflection. Myth, epic, literature, philosophy, history, and science may appear to belong to different fields, but they all exist within a single flow of human attempts to understand the world.

It also explores the forms of thought and philos...

  The Odyssey Episode 3 - The Song of the Sirens The song of the Sirens leads sailors to destruction, showing how irresistible temptation guides human choice. The Deadly Song of the Sirens Odysseus’s voyage continues. Yet the sea always holds another trial. This time the place he must pass is the sea where the Sirens live.

The Odyssey – How Does One Live After War? The Odyssey follows Odysseus after the Trojan War, showing how a man returns to being human through his long journey home. What Is the Odyssey? The Odyssey is an epic poem attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer. It tells the long journey of the hero Odysseus as he returns to his homeland, Ithaca, after the Trojan War. The war had ended, but his return marked the beginning of another kind of time. He had been a king, a warrior, and a man who survived countless battles. Yet what this story speaks of is not the adventure of a hero defeating monsters, but the process by which a human being returns to being human after war. The war is over, but a heavier silence comes after victory. The companions who fought beside him are gone, and although the war has ended, life continues. Odysseus now begins another struggle. It is not a struggle to kill monsters, but a struggle to remain human. The Long Journey of Odysseus Throughout his journey, countl...
