Oh, I forgot about leading "captivity captive" metaphorically, it's
about loosening the bonds of spiritual slavery - being attached to the
world and the bondage of one's sins. Jesus disables Satan's grip on
the world and his people by paying for their sins with his death
(again, metaphorically or physically).
There's the whole captivity theme that's really big for the Jewish
people of Jesus' time, being under the thumb Caesar and all. Since the
Jewish people have spent time actually being slaves earlier in their
history too, it's a powerful metaphor for being spiritually trapped.
