Pathomachia: Or The Battell Of Affections: Shadowed By A Feigned Siege Of The City Pathopolis is a book written by Henry More, first published in 1887. The book is a philosophical and theological treatise on the human psyche, exploring the inner battles between reason and passion, virtue and vice, and the struggle for self-mastery. The title, Pathomachia, is a Greek term that means ""battle of the passions."" The book is structured as a narrative poem, with a fictional siege of the city Pathopolis serving as a metaphor for the internal conflict of the human soul. The main character, Psyche, represents the human soul, and she is besieged by the passions of Love, Hatred, Fear, and Hope, who are personified as warriors.
