#psychic paralysis
- Abas - A legendary king of Argos in Greek mythology, grandfather of Perseus, renowned for his sacred shield endowed with magical powers capable of paralyzing enemies. In the history of medicine, psychoanalysis, and anthropology, the figure of Abas and his dynastic lineage are analyzed in connection with archetypes of somatized fear, where the mythical gaze or shield serves as a metaphor for psychic defense mechanisms inducing motor blocks or hysterical conversion crises.
