dc.description.abstract | The paper argues that in the imagery found in the narrative context of the Iliad, the image of public debates is involved. Especially the argument “you started the dispute” is emphasized because it is connected with the concept of blame attributed to Paris and all the Trojans. Under the influence of such works like Graeber and Wengrow (2021), that shed a new light on the prehistory of mankind, I postulate a change in the paradigm of the interpretation of the Homeric world. I believe it would be much more comprehensible if interpreted as expressing egalitarian relations. After all, social and political circumstances described in the Iliad correspond to the phase in which hierarchy is only an increasing tendency. Comparisons drawn from other egalitarian cultures indicate how significant it is who started the dispute and how this argument can be cancelled. In the blueprint of the Iliad, however, Paris’ blame defines the meaning of the Trojan story and, therefore, the indictment that it was Alexander who started the dispute plays a paramount role. | en |
dc.description.abstract | l’article soutient que l’imagerie trouvée dans le contexte narratif de l’Iliade implique l’image de débats publics. L’argument “qui a commencé la dispute” est particulièrement mis en avant, car il est lié à la notion de faute attribuée à Pâris et à tous les Troyens. Sous l’influence de travaux tels que Graeber et Wengrow (2021), qui jettent une nouvelle lumière sur la préhistoire de l’humanité, je postule un changement de paradigme dans l’interprétation du monde homérique. Je pense qu’il serait beaucoup plus compréhensible s’il était interprété comme exprimant des relations égalitaires. Après tout, les circonstances sociales et politiques décrites dans l’Iliade correspondent à la phase dans laquelle la hiérarchie n’est qu’une tendance croissante. Les comparaisons avec d’autres cultures égalitaires montrent à quel point il est important de savoir qui est à l’origine de la dispute et comment cet argument peut être annulé. Dans le schéma de l’Iliade, cependant, la faute de Pâris définit le sens de l’histoire troyenne et, par conséquent, l’accusation selon laquelle c’est Alexandre qui a déclenché le conflit joue un rôle primordial. | fr |
