+  Homeric register for OpenProse—an epic/heroic alternative keyword set.
+  Heroes, trials, fates, and glory. For benchmarking against the functional register.
+status: draft

+
+# OpenProse Homeric Register
+
+> **This is a skin layer.** It requires `prose.md` to be loaded first. All execution semantics, state management, and VM behavior are defined there. This file only provides keyword translations.
+
+An alternative register for OpenProse that draws from Greek epic poetry—the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the heroic tradition. Programs become quests. Agents become heroes. Outputs become glory won.
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. Load `prose.md` first (execution semantics)
+2. Load this file (keyword translations)
+3. When parsing `.prose` files, accept Homeric keywords as aliases for functional keywords
+4. All execution behavior remains identical—only surface syntax changes
+
+> **Design constraint:** Still aims to be "structured but self-evident" per the language tenets—just self-evident through an epic lens.
+

+### Session Properties
+
+| Functional | Homeric  | Reference           |

+| `model`    | `muse`   | Which muse inspires |
+
+### Shared appendix
+
+Use [shared-appendix.md](./shared-appendix.md) for unchanged keywords and the common comparison pattern.
+
+Recommended Homeric rewrite targets:
+
+- `session` sample -> `trial`
+- `parallel` sample -> `host`
+- `loop` sample -> `ordeal`
+- `try/catch/finally` sample -> `venture` / `should ruin come` / `in the end`
+- `choice` sample -> `crossroads` / `path`
+
+```prose
+# Homeric
+should **has security issues**:
+  trial "Fix security"
+or should **has performance issues**:
+  trial "Optimize"
+otherwise:
+  trial "Approve"
+```
+
+### Reusable Blocks
+
+```prose
+# Functional
+block review(topic):
+  session "Research {topic}"
+  session "Analyze {topic}"
+
+do review("quantum computing")
+```
+
+```prose
+# Homeric
+book review(topic):
+  trial "Research {topic}"
+  trial "Analyze {topic}"
+
+do review("quantum computing")
+```
+
+### Fixed Iteration
+
+```prose
+# Functional
+repeat 12:
+  session "Complete task"
+```
+
+```prose
+# Homeric
+12 labors:
+  trial "Complete task"
+```
+
+### Immutable Binding
+
+```prose
+# Functional
+const config = { model: "opus", retries: 3 }
+```
+
+```prose
+# Homeric
+fate config = { muse: "opus", persist: 3 }
+```
+

+
+## The Case For Homeric
+
+1. **Universal recognition.** Greek epics are foundational to Western literature.
+2. **Heroic framing.** Transforms mundane tasks into glorious trials.
+3. **Natural fit.** Heroes face trials, receive tidings, win glory—maps cleanly to agent/session/output.
+4. **Gravitas.** When you want programs to feel epic and consequential.
+5. **Fate vs decree.** `const` as `fate` (unchangeable) vs `let` as `decree` (declared but mutable) is intuitive.
+
+## The Case Against Homeric
+
+1. **Grandiosity mismatch.** "12 labors" for a simple loop may feel overblown.
+2. **Western-centric.** Greek epic tradition is culturally specific.
+3. **Limited vocabulary.** Fewer distinctive terms than Borges or folk.
+4. **Potentially silly.** Heroic language for mundane tasks risks bathos.
+

+
+## Key Homeric Concepts
+
+| Term   | Meaning                             | Used for                           |
+| ------ | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
+| Kleos  | Glory, fame that outlives you       | `output` → `glory`                 |
+| Moira  | Fate, one's allotted portion        | `const` → `fate`                   |
+| Até    | Divine ruin, blindness sent by gods | `catch` → `should ruin come`       |
+| Nostos | The return journey                  | (not used, but could be `finally`) |
+| Xenia  | Guest-friendship, hospitality       | (not used)                         |
+| Muse   | Divine inspiration                  | `model` → `muse`                   |
+

+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### For `hero` (agent)
+
+| Keyword    | Rejected because                       |
+| ---------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| `champion` | More medieval than Homeric             |
+| `warrior`  | Too martial, not all tasks are battles |
+| `wanderer` | Too passive                            |
+
+### For `trial` (session)
+
+| Keyword | Rejected because                        |
+| ------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| `labor` | Good but reserved for `repeat N labors` |
+| `quest` | More medieval/RPG                       |
+| `task`  | Too plain                               |
+
+### For `host` (parallel)
+
+| Keyword   | Rejected because               |
+| --------- | ------------------------------ |
+| `army`    | Too specifically martial       |
+| `fleet`   | Only works for naval metaphors |
+| `phalanx` | Too technical                  |
+
+---
+
+## Verdict
+
+Preserved for benchmarking. The Homeric register offers gravitas and heroic framing. Best suited for:
+
+- Programs that feel like epic undertakings
+- Users who enjoy classical references
+- Contexts where "glory" as output feels appropriate
+
+May cause unintentional bathos when applied to mundane tasks.
