Dans le discours sur les religions comme dans le discours religieux de l’Empire gréco-romain, les grandes figures de la mythologie et de l’histoire ont servi tantôt de modèles, tantôt de repoussoirs. L’intérêt de l’approche proposée consiste à aborder parallèlement des types de textes différents, d’ordinaire étudiés indépendamment les uns des autres : poésie augustéenne, rhétorique et historiographie polythéistes, littérature chrétienne. Païens et chrétiens ont en effet un grand nombre de préoccupations communes, exprimées par des outils qu’ils s’empruntent les uns aux autres. L’étude de cas précis dévoile des lignes de force dans l’élaboration des figures exemplaires, donc dans les croyances de l’Empire gréco-romain. Les contributions analysent notamment la construction de figures par les communautés qui se rassemblent autour d’elles, le rôle médiateur qu’elles jouent entre hommes et dieux, leur fonctionnement en réseau, chacune se définissant par ses interactions avec d’autres, leur statut d’outils rhétoriques et polémiques, dû à leur grande plasticité, et, dans le changement de paradigme opéré par le christianisme, la persistance des figures païennes comme substrat fondateur pour de nouvelles figures élaborées à partir de ces exempla mythiques. Both in discourse about religions and in the religious discourse of the Greco-Roman Empire, the great figures of mythology and history functioned either as models or as foils, following their use in poetical, philosophical, historiographical, panegyrical or apologetical contexts. The approach’s interest lies in the parallel consideration of different sorts of texts, generally examined independently otherwise : Augustan poetry, polytheistic rhetoric and historiography and Christian literature. Indeed, Pagans and Christians had many common concerns, expressed through the conceptual tools they borrowed from each other. Specific case studies reveal underlying connections in the elaboration of the exemplary figures and thus in the beliefs of the Greco-Roman Empire. The contributions show notably how exemplary figures are constructed by the communities depending upon them, the mediating role they play between men and gods, their networking signification, each one being defined by the interactions with the others, their role as rhetorical and polemical devices due to their adaptability, and, in the change of paradigm brought about by Christianity, how pagan figures persist and become a fundamental substratum for new figures, elaborated from these mythical exempla.
