This study both offers a reading of Hesiod's 'Theogony' and traces the reception and shadows of this authoritative Greek creation story in Greek and Roman texts up to Milton's 'Paradise Lost'. It also considers the poem in light of Near Eastern creation stories, including the 'Enûma Elish' and 'Genesis', as well as Freud's 'Civilization and Its Discontents'. In this book, Hesiod's poem is read as a hymn to Zeus and a city-state creation myth, arguing that Olympus is portrayed as an idealised polity and - with but one exception - a place of communal harmony.

This book proposes to rethink kinship in early Greek epic poetry. The author interprets, according to the criterion of gender, the discursive form and the narrative function of the genealogical relations as they are expressed in archaic Greek epic poetry. The focus on the analytic female catalogues attested in this corpus enables the advancement of the hypothesis of the existence of a female-centered poetic tradition that sang the klea gynaikôn in terms of kinship and procreation.

Dossier : L’individu, objet de tous les regards : telle est la perspective adoptée par ce dossier. Si le vêtement occupe une place centrale dans cette enquête, l’histoire des apparences ne s’y réduit pas. Traits physiques et de caractère, tenue extérieure et nudité étudiée, parures et coiffures, odeurs et attitudes, constituent un large ensemble de significations, celui du « vêtement total ». Moyens de catégorisation et d’évaluation morale, modes d’intervention délibérée dans le champ des interactions sociales, les manières de s’habiller et de se déshabiller témoignent d’un contrôle visuel quasi permanent exercé sur les corps depuis les mondes archaïques grec et étrusque jusqu’à la Rome impériale. Varia : Une série d’articles suit ce dossier thématique et aborde des sujets très variés : parmi d’autres, le mythe des Lemniennes, la question du statut des Muses, celle de la discorde (éris) dans les récits de fondation, l’implication du stratège athénien Timothée dans une guerre civile à Zakinthos au ive siècle, la représentation divine en Nabatène, la procédure de la description des œuvres d’art – ekphrasis – chez Philostrate, ou encore, dans une perspective méthodologique et historiographique, la pratique de la méthode comparative par les historiens anthropologues de la Grèce ancienne.

This book offers a new interpretation of ancient Greek sacrifice from a cultural poetic perspective. Through close readings of the Theogony, the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, and the Odyssey in conjunction with evidence from material culture, it demonstrates how sacrifice narratives in early Greek hexameter poetry are intimately connected to a mythic-poetic discourse referred to as the 'politics of the belly'. This mythic-poetic discourse presents sacrifice as a site of symbolic conflict between the male stomach and female womb for both mortals and immortals. Ultimately, the book argues that the ritual of sacrifice operates as a cultural mechanism for the perpetuation of patriarchal ideology not just in early Greek hexameter, but throughout Greek cultural history.
