Abstract: The destructive impact of the war on the psyche of the military men and civilian population of Ukraine actualizes the issue of scientific research on optimization protection of vital activity as well as psychological protection. The methodological basis for determining the essence, content, and correlation of optimization protection of vital activity and psychological protection are philosophical provisions on the human psyche, achievements of a systematic approach in psychology and physiology, and modern empirical theories of consciousness. The internal expression and result of adaptation are optimization automatisms that belong to personal experience and are formed and function at the level of the personal unconscious of the unconscious sphere of the psyche. The following generations inherit the acquired protective properties through their coding and preservation in the human genotype. Optimization archetypes that function at the level of the collective unconscious of the psyche's unconscious sphere carry out releasing and application of information about the protective properties encoded in the organism's genotype. Optimization automatisms and optimization archetypes are key components of all types of optimization protection of vital activity, which were determined by the main factors of ensuring human existence: physical, chemical, biological, physiological, social, volitional, and psychological. Human social existence is constantly influenced by both the protective and destructive effects of the surrounding reality. Its protective effect, reflected on the rational and sensual levels of the psyche, is denoted by the category of transformational psychological protection. The components of transformational psychological protection, according to the forms of existence of consciousness, are defined as rational, sensual, and basic (eidetic) psychological protections. It is proved that indicators of rational psychological protection are identical to the studied level of morale; indicators of sensual psychological protection are identical to the studied level of moral and psychological state; and indicators of basic (eidetic) psychological protection are identical to the studied level of the human factor of military formations. Methodical recommendations (guidelines) were proposed for their research. The destructive effect of the surrounding reality, via a complex algorithm of neuropsychophysiological processes, causes negative experiences. The protection of consciousness from their traumatic consequences is due to the optimization psychological protection. Its components are determined according to the spheres of the psyche as conscious, unconscious, and superconscious psychological protection. Types of psychological protection, determined under the protective and destructive effects of the surrounding reality and philosophical understanding of the psyche, form a system of psychological protection.

Abstract: In this tragedy by Sophocles, the real theme is the treatment of "prey women" and their influence on the psychological family situation and society in classical Athens. "The Women of Trachis" as well as "Oedipus Rex" and "Oedipus on Colonus" show what an enormously perceptive, in today's terms, psychologist and sociologist Sophocles was. In the fifth century BC, many wars were waged in Greece and prisoners were turned into slaves. Classical Greece thrived on slavery, which also included so-called prey woman. In The Women of Trachis Sophocles describes the jealousy of a wife, with the resulting actions, when the marriage is overstretched and the jealousy is increased through corresponding insults (over the decades). How hatred and revenge then gain the upper hand, ultimately leading to death. The intra-family marriage policy in Athens, which often leads to emotional and social unhappiness, is also a clear theme in the "Women of Trachis", long before Sophocles' two Oedipus tragedies. In his tragedies, Sophocles dealt with sociological themes and human suffering. The poets changed the mythology according to the requirements of their desired intention of the tragedy. The transformation of the myth consists in its integration into the polis and its new reference systems. The fact that the tragic poet sets the problems of his time in a past contributes to the possibility of the tragedy's reception. In the tragedies Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus, for example, a reference to the social reality in Athens at the time is assumed. The tragedies that were performed at the Dionysia (festival) are characterized by an interpenetration of present and past. Tragedies were organized as competitions, so that the poets had to take the audience's sensitivities into account. Classical philologists are often prevented from producing realistic text analyses and interpretations by idealizing and glorifying Greek tragedies and thus not taking into account the social customs and laws of the time. If we think, that the Greeks had no interest in such a psychological process as how a decision comes about, we are seriously mistaken and we do not do justice to the great, psychologically astute tragedians. Without a sociological, psychological and medical approach, applied to the tragedies that contain such themes in Sophocles and also Euripides in excellent execution, we will not do justice to these brilliant poets. We are left with interpretations without a sociological and psychological understanding of Greek classicism.
