	:: ÅBEN DANS - reviews, Helsingborg Dagblad ::
		Psychomachia means the “mechanics of the psyche” and is the title of a text by the Roman poet Prudentius.
		Psychomachia was originally written as a libretto for a dance sequence where virtues and vices confront each other and where the virtues are expected to win.
		Psychomachia in long passages is something as seldom as a modern dance performance where the roof over the stage lifts off when the roars of laughter from the public break loose.

		This paper argues that from the first line of the Psychomachia to its epilogue, Prudentius programmatically engages Aeneid 6, in an effort to transform the political, ethical, and metaphysical landscape of Vergil’s master narrative.
		The descent of the epic hero, Aeneas, to the underworld, an exercise in self-definition and a harbinger of national and spiritual identity, provides the basis for the Psychomachia’s narrative, as well as for the rite of passage which its poet and reader must complete to reach their individual, and national, Christian identity.
		The invocation of the Psychomachia, the centrally placed battle between Avaritia and Operatio, the epilogue and other passages, allude systematically to Aeneid 6 reinforcing the picture of the soul’s journey from mortality and death, to life and immortality.

		In the Psychomachia, the life-and-death struggle between two combatants is predicated upon a hatred that often approaches its opposite.
		One major disparity between the Psychomachia and "The Mirror Stage" is the marked presence, in the former, of an ethical-didactic dimension in the foreground of the action.
		The Psychomachia "participates in universal-salvation history" and, pragmatically, is meant "to aid in the salvation of its Christian audience" (Smith, 4).

	The Purple Island
		Fletcher draws to their rational conclusion many conventions of psychomachia available to him, including the parade of virtues and vices, found in Prudentius' Psychomachia and The Faerie Queene, the Biblical conflict between the spirit and the flesh, and scale invariance between the microcosm (man) and the macrocosm (the world).
		Gary M. Bouchard observes that Fletcher conflates the "green world" of the pastoral with the "blue world" of the piscatory, meaning that the dangers of the sea, "the source of invasion, and a place for battle," and the shore, "a landing place for invading brigands," are introduced into the inland bucolic (234).
		Psychomachia in the sense of battle of and for the soul is explicit here: After souls were first implanted in bodies, Timaeus explains, they experienced opposites such as love and hatred; "If they conquered these they would live righteously, and if they were conquered by them, unrighteously" (1171).

		Far from being conventional, it is actually quite different from the norm and (as I know she was greatly influenced by him) follows C.S. Lewis' approach to it.
		The term psychomachia is here eminently suitable as, to define it more properly, it is "the fight for a person's soul" or "the fight in a person's soul" (

		The large body of myth and legend, both oral and written, which had accumulated from early Iranian times had as a matter of course absorbed much that was allegorical in the religious tradition.
		It is within the material world, through the agency of individuals in society, that the cosmic battle is primarily waged; consequently, whatever one does or fails to do plays a part not only in his own personal drama of salvation, but in the social and cosmic psychomachia as well.
		The primitive terror of the unknown "destroying force" was thus rationalized, and, as the Lie, could be observed as it influenced human life, and thereby conquered.

		Started off the new month, however, on an interesting note: A graduate student from the German Department who works with me in the Dey 110 Instructional Resources Lab asked me if I knew what the word "Psychomachia" meant.
		He's in a medieval German lit course and was reading a book in which the term in question pops up, he estimated laughing, "at least 3 times in every sentence."

		Anytime you spot a painting of Patience standing calmly with her shield whilst Wrath pokes her with a stick, or perhaps Chastity holding firm against Lust’s leering gaze, then you are seeing an echo of Prudentius.
		Ah, well, if Jo was looking for a few ideas in orchestrating a seven-year plan for defeating evil then she might have drawn on a few ideas that originated with good old Prudentius.
		In a broad sense Harry is actually fighting two "battles for the soul." One is the battle for his own soul, this is the personal battle that every person faces in trying to grow up to be a good person.

		Various authors have also matched each of the seven deadly sins with their contrary virtues, whose practice might provide some protection against the seven deadly sins: humility against pride, generosity against avarice, kindness against envy, temperance against gluttony, chastity against lust, patience against wrath, and diligence against sloth.
		In particular, Prudentius (cited in The Seven Contrary Virtues, 2001) proposed this particular list of contending or contrary virtues in Psychomachia, or Battle for the Soul, (see Prudentius, Prudenti Psychomachia, for the preface in original Latin).
		Psychomachia proved influential as the earliest strong example of the allegorical poetry that become popular during the Middle Ages.

		The general plotline of such morality plays typically follows the spiritual crisis of an individual Christian who must choose between characters representing good and evil.

		Doctor Faustus borrows many of the conventions of the morality play, especially the psychomachia represented by the Good and Bad Angels.
