Return

Can two returns rhyme in structure without sharing a source?

Return is a human plot. It does not require that two traditions borrowed from each other.

  1. Stop 1

    Generated interpretation of a northern night sky. The Bear sits on the left of an implied heading. Not a reconstruction of Homeric craft.
    Generated interpretation. A poem's sky, not a canoe's compass.

    Odyssey: a return that reads the world

    Nostos is the old Greek office of coming home.

    Structural resemblance

  2. Stop 2

    Generated interpretation of a night Pacific crossing from Hawaiʻi toward Tahiti. Not a photograph of 1976.
    Generated interpretation. Not a photograph of the 1976 voyage.

    Hōkūleʻa, Star of Gladness

    The canoe's voyages are also returns.

    Historical transmission
