Abstract

Le récit de la fabrication du bouclier d'Achille par Héphaistos au chant XVIII de l'Iliade est un texte mystérieux et fascinant. Le poète y présente le dieu forgeron créant de ses mains, pour figurer sur le bouclier, des hommes, des animaux, des végétaux et même des dieux, à la fois faits de métal et vivants, c'est-à-dire bougeant, agissant et parlant, dans des scènes de guerre et de paix, de vie urbaine et de vie agricole, le tout dans un cadre qui reproduit le cosmos tout entier. De l'Antiquité à nos jours, cet épisode de l'épopée n'a cessé de susciter l'ironie ou l'admiration et de faire naître débats et interrogations, si bien que le bouclier d'Achille apparaît comme l'une des inventions les plus fécondes de la littérature occidentale. Pour les théoriciens antiques et leurs successeurs, les vers consacrés au bouclier formaient l'un des piliers de l'ut pictura poesis et fournissaient le modèle à la fois originel et accompli de l'ekphrasis (ou description "vivante") d'une oeuvre d'art. Aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles - Vasari faisant figure de pionnier - le passage a été utilisé comme document pour l'histoire des arts et comme preuve de la précocité des artistes grecs dans l'imitation parfaite de la réalité, celle qui donne l'illusion de la vie. En sens inverse, le bouclier a fait l'objet de diverses hypothèses de restitution où l'on voit la disposition des scènes et le style des figures évoluer avec la progressive redécouverte de l'art grec archaïque. Au XXe siècle, on a souvent vu dans l'épisode du bouclier un prétexte permettant au poète de délivrer à ses contemporains un message de sagesse et de pacifisme, fort utile aussi pour notre époque, tandis que certains critiques interprétaient sa fabrication comme une métaphore du chant poétique. Et si le bouclier d'Achille n'était ni une oeuvre d'art extraordinaire - la première qui serait apparue dans la littérature - ni une pure construction verbale? S'il s'agissait d'un dispositif de magie protectrice? Avec Héphaistos le dieu-sorcier, l'Iliade mettrait alors en scène les très anciennes accointances de l'art et de la magie.

Abstract

Statius' Achilleid is a playful, witty, and open-ended epic in the manner of Ovid. As we follow Achilles' metamorphosis from wild boy to demure girl to lover to hero, the poet brilliantly illustrates a series of contrasting codes of behaviour: male and female, epic and elegiac. This first full-length study of the poem addresses not only the narrative itself, but also sets the myth of Achilles on Scyros within a broad interpretive framework. The exploration ranges from the reception of the Achilleid in Baroque opera to the anthropological parallels that have been adduced to explain Achilles' transvestism. The study's expansive approach, which includes Ovid and Ovidian reception, psychoanalytic perspectives and theorizations of gender in antiquity, makes it essential reading not only for students of Statius, but for students of Latin literature, and of gender in antiquity.

Abstract

Students reading the Iliad for the first time are often bewildered by the sheer volume of information on apparently unrelated subjects contained in it. The central narrative seems to unfold very slowly, and to be complicated by long speeches containing stories which might be interesting in themselves, but which seem to have no relevance to anything else. In this book Dr Alden offers advice on how to read the Iliad through the relationship of major paradigms to the events of the main narrative. The first section offers the first full-length study in English of the paradigmatic functions of secondary narratives and minor-key episodes in the Iliad. None of these are irrelevant or merely ornamental: rather each is carefully selected and altered if necessary, to reflect on significant episodes of the main narrative and act as guides to its interpretation. The second section offers a general reading of the Iliad arising out of Phoenix's advice to Achilles in Book 9. The allegory of the Prayers illustrates the dire consequences of rejecting prayers, and the paradigm of Meleager presents us with an instance of an angry hero to whom prayers and entreaties are addressed, whilst the primary narrative confines this motif of prayers and entreaties in ascending scale of affection to Achilles and Hector and contrasts their responses. Both heroes suffer terribly for their rejection of entreaties.
