Other very significant words fit into this same context, especially the words \u201cmechanics\u201d and \u201cmachine.\u201d The Greek \u201cmechos\u201d indicates a device meant to aid in deception-the Trojan Horse being a good example of this. Ulysses is called \u201cpolymechanikos,\u201d which is translated as \u201cfull of stratagems.\u201d The word \u201cmechos\u201d is derived from the ancient root \u201cmagh,\u201d which we can recognize in the German words \u201cmacht\u201d [power] and \u201cmogen\u201d [will; desire] Accordingly, a machine is a device for trickery. For example, the lever tricks gravity. \u201cMechanics\u201d is the strategy to manipulate heavy bodies. Another word fitting into this context is \u201ctechnique.\u201d The Greek \u201ctechne\u201d means \u201cart\u201d and is related to \u201ctekton,\u201d which means \u201c\u2018cabinetmaker or joiner.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]<\/p>\n
