Abstract

Resumo: Um rápido percurso pelos estudos recentes sobre a representação homérica dos deuses coloca em evidência a dificuldade, surgida já na antiguidade e experimentada ao longo de toda a recepção moderna da cultura grega, de se conciliar a dimensão ontológica com o antropomorfismo constitutivo dos deuses gregos. Neste estudo, pretendo mostrar que essas duas características se associaram na religião grega desde muito cedo e marcaram definitivamente sua relação com a literatura.

Palavras-chave: Religião grega; Homero; antropomorfismo.

Abstract: A rapid survey of the recent studies concerning the Homeric representation of the gods calls our atention to the difficulty, present already in antiquity and experienced during the whole modern reception of Greek culture, of accepting both the ontological dimension of the gods and their anthropomorphism. Recurring to recent bibliography I propose in this study that these two aspects were associated very early in Greek religion.

Keywords: Homer, Greek religion, Anthropomorphism.
