About This Item

Turnhout Brepols 1992. Paperback, 361 p., + ill., 190 x 255 mm. ISBN 9789074461016. Une quinzaine de specialistes font dans ce volume le point sur les acquis de la recherce et sur les problemes encores poses par Heracles, l'une des figures les plus celebres et les plus complexes qu'ait connues la mythologie greco-romaine. Les communications illustrent l'implantation du culte et du mythe, non seulement en Grece mais encore a Chypre et a l'Exteme-Occident. Elles montrent le heros penetrant l'Orient en vainqueur a la site d'Alexandre, s'installant a Rome et parmi les peuples italiques, et en Afrique enfin. Parallellement, c'est la complexite meme d'une figure mythologique qui se dessine; dieu ou heros, figure puissament syncretique qui charme divers heritages. Riches de confrontations et de discussions, ces textes eclairent beaucoup plus que la seule figure d'Heracles fut il le plus heroique des heros grecs. Ils sont l'occasion de debattre de la methode necessitee de prendre en compte la specificite des temoignages archeologiques ou litteraires, de poser en termes nouveaux le necessaire recours au comparatisme, de saisir les differences au moins autant que les convergences. Ils sont aussi une veritable interrogation sur l'imaginaire des Grecs, sur la complexite de leurs mythes, leur plasticite et leur pouvoir de reactivation tout au long de l'histoire, a la faveur des contacts noues avec des aires culturelles exterieures. Une reflexion fructueuse, dont l'interet tient pour beaucoup, a la confrontation de chercheurs qui, s'ils avaient tous consacre a Heracles un moment de leur reflexion, provenaient d'horizons divers et mettaient en oeuvre des lectures differentes des cultures et des mythes. Language : French, Italian.
