Ancient (propulsion) Technology — did ancient aliens, lost to the sands of time, truly walk the earth?
Jump to the previous part: Golden Wings: The Ancient Odyssey of High-Flying Gods 1 of 2
In the fifth book of the Odyssey, it is told of Mercury, the famous messenger of the gods. Many remember him depicted with winged feet in old schoolbooks.
In verse 55 Homer writes: “The brave messenger obeyed. To the foot He took hold of the beautiful, golden, immortal sandals, Which carried him over the sea, and over the fields of Infinite earth, fast as the wind.”
What these “beautiful golden sandals” could ever be we cannot know, but the recollection tied to a certain form of advanced technology capable of making a man fly is as strong as spontaneous.
The same system was used by Hera and other so-called “divinities” as well. For example, in book 14 of the Iliad, Hera, who is about to leave, uses the same system again:
“Finally, she tightened his beautiful sandals at his feet ..”
“… and with a leap she left from the peaks of Olympus. she passed by the Pïeria, on the amiable Emàtia of the Thracians who use to tame horses on snowy mountains: she flew above the highest peaks, nor her feet touched the earth. And down she fell, from the peaks of the Atos to the waving sea.”
Finally, after meeting another ‘divinity’, the story concludes:
“… here they left the sea and went above the earth, under their feet they bent the tops of the woods.”

“He took hold of the beautiful, golden, immortal sandals, Which carried him over the sea, and over the fields of Infinite earth, fast as the wind.”
Perhaps the most emblematic verse of all is this latter. In fact, if ever someone still had doubts about the fact that we are faced with the description of some type propulsion system, Homer specify: “under their feet they bent the tops of the woods.”
A detail of this type cannot be invented, and the only possible explanation is that whatever was the device that allowed the gods to fly, it certainly released some kind of very powerful propulsion exhaust downwards and this cannot be invented without knowing how the technology works or having seen it at least once.
Now, we can accept everything, but not the illogical. We cannot accept to be told that Homer invented winged feet individuals to recall the idea of some abstract and distant divinity and to do so accidentally imagined the effect of a propulsion system.
Homer (who was a historian before being a poet) is telling us a true story, he tells us about events many of which he probably witnessed firsthand and tells us about those events in verses, since it was the only way known and developed at the time to record historical chronicles.
In the tapestry of human history, myths whisper truths, veiled in the guise of stories. Our journey through the Odyssey’s verses has not only been a trek through ancient texts but a voyage across the realms of unexpected possibilities.
Homer’s vivid imagery of gods with golden sandals, soaring through the skies, bends the line between myth and technology, suggesting a past intertwined with marvels perhaps not so different from our dreams of the future.
