William H. Race reminds us that the hero Odysseus lands the region of Phaeacia—in his capacity (or incapacity) as a patient—with the Paeacian King Alcinous acting as a therapist for him. This paper considers it reasonable for Race to propose sport and narrative as Alcinous’ therapeutic means. However, he fails to notice the two means also as heroic qualities and their cultural correlation in ancient Greece. Thus, this paper will focus attention on Odysseus’ narrative therapy and point out that Race has overlooked the kinesthetic aspect of the hero’s narrative, which, in fact, continues the sports therapy in the previous phase. Further still, this paper will explain how Odysseus makes rhetorical use of his body to perfect his narrative performance and ultimately heal his trauma. Hopefully, the discussion above will contribute to both the understanding of sport and rhetoric in ancient Greece and the contemporary exploration of medical humanities.
