"This book plumbs the virtues of the Homeric poems as scripts for solo performance. Despite academic focus on orality and on composition in performance, we have yet to fully appreciate the Iliad and Odyssey as the sophisticated scripts that they are. What is lost in the journey from the stage to the page? Readers may be readily impressed by the vividness of the poems, but they may miss out on the strange presence or uncanniness that the performer evoked in ancient audience members such as Plato and Aristotle. This book focuses on the performer not simply as transparent mediator, but as one haunted by multiple stories and presences, who brings suppressed voices to the surface. Performance is inextricable from all aspects of the poems, from image to structure to background story. Background stories previously neglected, even in some of the most familiar passages (such as Phoenix's speech in Iliad 9) are brought to the surface, and passages readers tend to rush through (such as Odysseus's encounter with Eumaeus) are shown to have some of the richest dramatic potential. Attending to performance enlivens isolated features in a given passage by showing how they work together"--

L'oeuvre d'Homère n'a jamais laissé indifférent. De nombreux philosophes, depuis l'Antiquité, y ont puisé des éléments visant à nourrir leurs recherches propres. Ils ont par exemple réfléchi sur les situations vécues par certains personnages ou sur leur caractère, mais ils ont aussi cherché, par un travail d'interprétation, à saisir le sens des textes du poète ou à en critiquer le contenu. En éclairant l'usage que les philosophes font de l'oeuvre d'Homère, il ne s'agira pas ici de proposer une interprétation de celle-ci ou d'en renouveler la lecture.Il s'agira plutôt de rendre possible une autre approche de la philosophie, de permettre une compréhension différente des philosophes qui ont manifesté un intérêt particulier pour Homère. Car la présence de ce dernier dans les oeuvres philosophiques nous renseigne tout autant sur elles que sur l'oeuvre d'Homère elle-même. Pourtant, peu d'études contemporaines ont cherché à proposer une analyse approfondie et systématique de cette présence dans l'histoire de la philosophie alors que la réception et l'usage de l'oeuvre d'Homère ont donné lieu à de nombreux commentaires dans le champ des études littéraires, linguistiques, historiques ou anthropologiques.C'est à combler ce manque que cet ouvrage est en partie consacré.

While there have been many studies devoted to the major heroes and heroines of Homeric epic, among them Achilles, Odysseus, and Helen, the figure of Menelaus has remained notably overlooked in this strand of scholarship. Menelaus in the Archaic Period is the first book-length study of the Homeric character, taking a multidisciplinary approach to his depiction in archaic Greek poetry, art, and cult through detailed analysis of ancient literary, visual, and material evidence. 0The volume is divided into two parts, the first of which examines the portrayal of Menelaus in the Homeric poems as a unique 'personality' with an integral role to play in each narrative, as depicted through typical patterns of speech and action and through intertextual allusion. The second part explores his representation both in other poetry of the archaic period - including lyric poetry and Simonides' 'Plataea elegy ' - and also archaic art and local Sparta cult, drawing on the literary,0archaeological, and inscriptional evidence for the cult of Menelaus with Helen at Therapne. The depiction of Menelaus in archaic art is a particular focal point: Chapter 4 provides a methodology for the interpretation of heroic narrative on archaic Greek vases through iconography and inscriptions and establishes his conventional visual 'identity' on black figure Athenian vases, while an annotated catalogue of images details those that fall outside the 'norm'. Menelaus emerges from this comprehensive study as a unique and likeable character whose relationship with Helen was a popular theme in both epic poetry and vase painting, but one whose portrayal evinced a significant narrative range, with an array of continuities and differences in how he was represented by the Greeks, not only within the archaic period but also in comparison to classical Athens
