If David's psalms give individuals language
for emotions and obligations and joys and predicaments predicated upon the Fall of Man and the Law, then Homer's poem is of the other
eternity.
Not by presenting us with more evidence, but by appeals to our
emotions and / or our fears: Either by using, «Our almighty, all - knowing god will protect you and give you eternal life (security and hope)», or, «Our righteous, just, and holy god will torture you
for all
eternity if you DO N'T make the jump (using blind faith).»
