#just to clarify: odysseus does this with aga. odysseus' pothos is for aga.

Achilles and Odysseus in Homer voice in no uncertain terms their desire to embrace the departed. The Greeks described this type of unrequited yearning with the term pothos. On the one hand, such pothos for the departed, and more specifically for their touch, offered a path towards remembrance by strengthening empathetic engagement with the memorials, engaging multiple senses, and rehearsing the memory of the dead. On the other hand, it offered little comfort, but instead drew attention to the very absence of the deceased. Pothos for the dead was relentless.
