Ce volume constitue les actes d’un colloque organisé à l’ENS de Lyon (19-20 janvier 2012) pour mettre à l’honneur ce poète oublié, dans des échanges pluridisciplinaires autour de cette œuvre très peu ...lue en dehors d’un cercle restreint de spécialistes. En réunissant les contributions de philologues, historiens de l’art et historiens des idées, ce volume s’efforce d’enrichir le commentaire des fragments et tente de comprendre les usages que ce poète a faits de la matière mythologique dans une perspective politique ou pour rendre compte du monde dans lequel il évoluait. La première partie de l’ouvrage propose deux parcours géographiques pour donner une idée du traitement du mythe par Euphorion, allant d’abord au sein de la Grèce traditionnelle d’Eubée en Béotie et de l’Attique en Corinthie, puis parcourant l’Asie mineure et le Proche-Orient où Euphorion a fait lui-même une partie de sa carrière. La seconde partie plus littéraire essaie de mettre en lumière certains aspects propres de la poétique d’Euphorion au sein d’un ensemble de poètes qui recherchent l’obscurité, l’étrange ou la rareté et dans l’art spécifique de la malédiction.
This book explores the persona of the artist in Archaic and Classical Greek art and literature. Guy Hedreen argues that artistic subjectivity, first expressed in Athenian vase-painting of the sixth ...century BCE and intensively explored by Euphronios, developed alongside a self-consciously constructed persona of the poet. He explains how poets like Archilochos and Hipponax identified with the wily Homeric character of Odysseus as a prototype of the successful narrator, and how the lame yet resourceful artist-god Hephaistos is emulated by Archaic vase-painters such as Kleitias. In lyric poetry and pictorial art, Hedreen traces a widespread conception of the artist or poet as socially marginal, sometimes physically imperfect, but rhetorically clever, technically peerless, and a master of fiction. Bringing together in a sustained analysis the roots of subjectivity across media, this book offers a new way of studying the relationship between poetry and art in ancient Greece.

Although "grace" in today's secular usage often connotes beauty or good manners, to the ancient Greeks it was both an aesthetic and a moral concept central to social order--a transformative power ...grounded in favor, thanks, repayment, delight, pleasure, and, above all, reciprocity. Here Bonnie MacLachlan explores the Greek concept of grace, orcharis, as depicted in poetic works from Homer to Aeschylus, to tap into the essential meaning behind the manifold uses of the term. She also relates it to other important concepts in the moral language of the eighth century \B.C.E.
Examining epic, lyric, erotic, epinician, and tragic poetry, and the cult of the Charites themselves, MacLachlan shows howcharisgoverned human relations of all sorts, from the battlefield to bed: Achilles sulks, and jeopardizes the Greek victory in the Trojan War, because there was nocharisin Agamemnon's gesture of reconciliation; the young Telemachus, filled with the gift ofcharis, speaks persuasively before the assembly of Ithacans; young men and women in erotic poems shine withchariswhen they are sexually mature. In shaping her definition ofcharisas a mutually shared pleasure that breaks down the barriers of the self, MacLachlan seeks to elucidate many poetic passages that have long mystified the commentators.

Plato's frontal attack on poetry has always been a problem for sympathetic students, who have often minimized or avoided it. Beginning with the premise that the attack must be taken seriously, Eric ...Havelock shows that Plato's hostility is explained by the continued domination of the poetic tradition in contemporary Greek thought.
