Laffon, Amarande. "L’ἀναρχία (anarchia) en Grèce antique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040218.
Full textThe term anarchia refers literally to the absence of power, in the military sphere (that caused by the loss of a commander), and the political sphere (the absence of archontes, specifically the eponymous archon). The concept quickly generalised, coming to designate in the figurative sense the lack and want of power or the rejection and negation of power. It approaches the meanings of insubordination, rebelliousness, unruliness, licentiousness and disorder. The actual experience of power vacuum in the cities of Ancient Greece and how the Greeks represented it and conceptualised it are the three main lines of this research. Anarchia is conceived not only in the city but also in the soul of the individual, in the family, or even in the universe. It demands reflection on the articulation between two seemingly antagonistic principles, the desire for freedom and the necessity of order, and consequently upon the foundations of legitimate authority. This work relies on a precise analysis of the term anarchia in the epigraphic, historical, literary and philosophical sources. The first part deals with actual periods of power vacuum in the ordinary course of political life or in the context of institutional disruption and the implemented remedies. The term anarchia is employed in the cities of Athens, Thasos, Teos, Syros and Berenike. One must add the problematical use of the terms acosmia by Aristotle regarding the Cretan regime and atagia in the Thessalian inscriptions. The second part deals with the semantic evolution of the term from the absence of ruler to anarchy in the work of historians and tragic poets and the role of anarchia in the theory of leadership developed by Xenophon, Plato and Aristotle

Full textAlthough nowadays these two countries, greece and iran, seem very distant from one another, in antiquity, they were very close. . . In spite of this situation, until now, it has been written a lot about these two civilizations, all over the world, in the west, like in the east. All aspects have been discussed. . . Because the ancient historians have been driven to give pictures of one or the other of these two civilizations, which do not always correspond to the strictly objective reality because they are transformed by the political thinking and the political propaganda. Therefore a comparative study about the artistic and cultural elements of these countries of tradition, which are very different from one another today, will unable us to understand better what, since the remote antiquity, has linked and separated them. These elements are the key to the careful understanding of the secrets of these two countries of the antiquity. It has been then noticed that iran and greece have, in their geographical area, known an artistic and cultural development very peculiar, which gives them a first rank place in the ancient world and in the history of humanity. This thesis deals with a thorough study of the definit image of these two civilizations. Furthermore, if artistic and cultural works and elements of these two civilizations do not grow old, with the methods available (technical and legal), and thanks to modern sciences, laws and international rights, one can keep and restore the cultural and artistic elements of these two civilizations for the next generations

Full textSiphnos was the single Cyclade which owns gold and silver-lead mines. Thanks to that, its radiance was important as far back as three thousand years b-c. The oldest archeological remain ever found on a mining working place in the Aegean belongs to Agios Sostis. Siphnos owns a capital Cycladic necropolis as it allows thinking that the distinction between the Grotta-Pelos and Keros-Syros cultures belonging to the early Cycladic is not geographical, but chronological. Two important acropolis were excavated, the one belongs to the LH III B and the other to the archaic period. A network of towers belonging mainly to the 4th century b-C protects the island. The prosperity of Siphnos was great in the antiquity and enabled the island to edify a treasure in the sanctuary of Delphi in the 6th century b-c: the Siphnians had then the reputation to be the richest insulars
Frach, Sylwia. "Vision contemporaine de la Grèce antique : mythe et cinéma selon Pier Paolo Pasolini." Thesis, Paris Est, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PEST0011.
Full textPasolini’s vision of ancient Greece is barbaric because the filmmaker refuses any neoclassicalidealization. This vision of antiquity was already famous in European culture through the textsof Nietzsche. Pasolini is particularly inspired by two disciplines he often refers to : anthropologyand psychoanalysis.The barbarian theme is also linked to a barbaric environment, with agreement between the formof expression and form of content. Pasolini rejects archaeological reconstruction. He combinesblinding brightness of Morocco (were the mythical part of the Oedipus Rex is turned), archaicarchitecture in stone of Cappadocia (Colchis in Medea), and the ramparts of a Syrian city Aleppo(Corinth in Medea) with costumes from different archaic cultures and music mostly from non-Western countries (African, Tibetan, Japanese, Romanian).With the practice of contamination and pastiche, Pasolini wants to recreate the timelesslanguage of myth, the primary language of the peasant civilization. The relationship between theGreek myth and the rural world revolves mainly around the notion of cyclicity

Full textThe research deals with harvest, threshing, winnowing and storage of cereal techniques in the Aegean world during the Neolithic after the domestication of cereals, then during the Bronze Age and the Antiquity until the Hellenistic period. The geographical area includes current continental Greece, Aegean Islands and Crete. Techniques and movements of the various stages of the cereal processing chain were studied (harvest, threshing, winnowing) and the modes of short and long term cereal storage and preservation (silos, granaries, jars in basketwork, plaiting or ceramic, structures in raw earth). The used sources are of archaeological, ethnographical, textual and iconographic type. Missions to Delos and in Attica allowed us to understand the link between the classic farms and the threshing floor. Experiments validated the techniques of harvest, threshing and winnowing of the antique farming : harvesting by hand rather than with a sickle, lithic sickle better than bronze sickle, using the wind for winnowing. During the Recent Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, cereals were stored in pits, subterranean silos and storerooms (in mudjars) ; during Recent Bronze Age in farms, villas and palace magazines. During the classic period Athens imported by ship the main part of its grain from Northem Black Sea, Anatolia and Egypt
Giantsiou, Watrinet Chrysi. "Le mime grec antique." Thesis, Avignon, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010AVIG1090/document.
Full textTheatre in Ancient Greece developed into four dramatic genres: tragedy, comedy, satyrical drama and mime. Mime is the comic genre which was born in Dorian Greece, developed in Sicily and which development continues until the Hellenistic period. Although it is an important part of the ancient Greece dramatic art, up to now there was no systematic research on this type of theatre. This study aims at exploring that unknown dramatic genre. Its main objectives is the search for its origins, historical evolution and relationship (similarities and differences) with the other genres of dramatic art, as well as for its major creators

Full textStarting from the phokian national legend which consists in a cycle of tales reporting the wars of independence of the phokians against the thessalians in the archaic age, celebrated at the phokian federal sanctuary of artemis elaphebolos in hyampolis, it is shown that the greeks of the archaic and classical periods developped a complex and systematic thinking about exceptions to their own rules of hoplitic war. When wars of annihilation threatened the very existence of peoples and cities, artemis was called to instil the boldness and the courage to face the greatest risks, to inspire the devices to win these wars which transgress every admitted limit and to make civilization triumph where it seemed doomed to sink into wildness. The pondering of the greeks about the extreme forms of war is to be placed in the larger frame of a consideration on "extreme situations" by which the city, opposing the extreme radicalism of mystic trends like orphism which branded her as the absolute evil, endeavoured to explore and draw the limits of human condition at a distance of both the worst and the impossible best. Thus conceived, this whole work is intended as a contribution to the study of the relations between myth and history

Polychronis, Théodossios. "Hellanicos de Lesbos : histoire des origines, origines de l'histoire." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018AIXM0075.
Full textThe object of this dissertation is the re-evaluation of Hellanicos of Lesbos' fragments so as to determine the nature of his lost work and understand what role he played in the development of Ancient Greek historiography. The first chapter re-examines the available data (the corpus itself, problems pertaining to fragmentary texts as well as the problem of the titles under which the works are transmitted) while proposing possible interpretations. The second chapter focuses on one particular aspect of Hellanicos' work, that of the prôtos heurétés. Finally, the third chapter deals with the problematic intertextual relationship between Hellanicos and the Athenian historian Thucydides. The Ancient Greek text as well as the translation in French are given in a separate volume

Full textAfter a blood-sacrifice it was the custom of greek city communities to meet for a public meal. These public meals form the subject of the present study, which traces their history from the eight century b. C. To the fourth century a. D. : in archaic societies, in classical athens, and in the greek cities of the hellenistic and roman periods. The study will also concern itself with the way(s) in which greek discourse represented the public meals of other communities: their ancestors, and non-greek peoples. The sources used are various, consisting mainly of literary texts, iconography, archeology, and epigraphy - the relevant material in this last category being here assembled for the first time. The study is offered as an addition to existing research on greek sacrifice; as a contribution to the history of ancient practices relating to food; and as a reflection on the definition(s) of politics in greek cities

Full textUntil now, problems specific to the sympoliteia have restrained its study. First, epigraphists proposed many specialized studies of the phenomenon, without ever offering a complete assessment of this institution and its implications for the Hellenistic poleis, failing to globally consider sources suggesting the fusion of two cities. Moreover, the polysemy of sumpoliteu/w and sumpolitei/a introduced a confusion related to the political reality described in the sources, mainly because those terms characterize federal states (koina) as well as a union between two cities. Finally, similarities between the sympoliteia, the synoikismos and the isopoliteia added to this confusion and the identification of the means adopted by the cities to establish interstate relationships. As a distinct institution of the synoikismos and the isopoliteia, similar in its fundamentals to those on which the koina were edified, the sympoliteia was a political fusion of two autonomous civic communities. It took form trough the granting of citizenship to the incorporated community and trough the active participation of those citizens to the institutions of the other partner. It generated a city with two poles set in a chôra combining the territories of the implicated poleis. The sovereign entity included a main urban center, the one of the city which imposed its citizenship and civic model, and a secondary establishment politically integrating its neighbour, but whose local life survived through some institutions of the former city. The sympoliteia consolidated the situation of the cities in the difficult context of the hellenistic period, shaken by the perpetual rivalries between cities, federal states and kingdoms. The control of territories, the defence of material or territorial possessions, the assertion of independence and the access to resources were all motivations for creating partnerships. As the centerpiece of the union, the merging poleis are restructuring their defence and coordinating their economic activities. The sympoliteia brought solutions to the cities’ difficulties with pacific and realistic initiatives, creating stronger communities defended by a greater number of citizens-soldiers, more efficient defensive structures, as well as extended exploitable areas and resources for both partners

Full textWhat is the part of Greek tradition and roman innovation in the architecture of an ancient Greek city during the High Empire ? The case of Cyrene and others cities of the region - Apollonia, Ptolemai͏̈s, Taucheira and Berenike - shows that hellenism and romanity are often joint: the great majority of the buildings preserves Greek techniques of construction, but a great part of news or restored edifices on this period recovers roman types, like the theatres, the temples and the monumental arches. The type of roman theater takes the place of the Greek type, the cyrenaean temples imitate the forms of the roman temple with podium and frontal staircase, the Propylaea evolves to the monumental arch, types completely news as the amphitheatre or the basilica appear, and several monumental complexes adopt a roman configuration: the forum of Cyrene, for example, associates a quadriportico with a temple and a basilica. It is not in the political, demographic or social situation that the explications of the roman innovations will be found. It appears that the conservatism of the manners of construct doesn't explain itself by an inertia of know-how : the craftsmen and the architects reproduce simply their customs by using the technical system which they already know. The roman innovation seems to fall within the scope of a simple fashion where the news architectural types are imitated " to seems roman " without new roman customs corresponding to them ; or, more rarely, by diffusion of roman customs : in this case, new types of buildings are necessary: the apparition of the amphitheatre, for example, explains itself by the diffusion of hunts and gladiators spectacles on this area

As a final assessment, it is shown that the nature and value of available information are widely conditioned by the history of research. * The second part deals with three main themes : settlement, way of life and death - the first theme copes with choosing and organizing the settlement : its location in the environment, its development as a collective living space, and the building and setting up of houses. - the second theme copes with everyday life activities. The finds are divided up into five groups : workmanship, subsistence, clothing - together with ornament and toilet requisites -, exchange and play. - the third theme deals with mortuary practices, which show the behaviour of the living towards death and the dead, but might also bear evidence of social organization

The artists paint men with lyra and women dancing. This representation of the practices of the mousikè doesn't fit with reality but raises rather of collective imaginary and seems at last give to women the techniques of the body and to men those techniques related to speech and thought

Thus, during more than two centuries, Asian Greeks have lived in touch with Persians, either satraps or members of the imperial diaspora who settled in the conquered regions. This geographical closeness gave rise to a number of institutional, cultural and personal exchanges. This thesis explores the variety of relationships having existed between members of the two communities. It seeks to show how two peoples traditionally presented as enemies actually cohabited in the same geographical space

Full textFor the ancient greeks hunting was not only a means of relieving themselves of wild animals, a way of obtaining meat for food, it was also the distinct sign of mankind which was right away from the beasts and from the gods. As such, hunting gives the possibility of laying the foundations of anthropology and of vindicating the place of man in the city, and the place of the city in the world. Therefore the chasing and the capture of the animal are expounded, in greece, by a series of symbols. Philosophical enquiry, political metaphor, erotic vocabulary play with hunting as with an exhaustible pool for similes and images. I tried therefore to analyse the various aspects of hunting practice in epic poetry, tragedy, history and philosophy. Hunting is regularly represented in vase painting from the viith century to the ivth century. The investigation led me, then, to the interpretation of vase pictures. Through the appearing, the development of the modifications of them, i endeavoured to find the path for a social history which gives a privilegied place to youth behaviour. The confrontation of texts with pictures sketching this history and thus, the discovery of a somehow concealed part of the city face

Full textChristophe-Willibald Gluck’s tragédie-opéra, accomplishes the aesthetic inspirations of the Enlightenment based on the new aesthetic of sensibility and the quest of origins, its federal matric elements. Behind novelties introduced by the new relation between text and music, the emancipation of a global lyric project is founded in the organic structure of Greek tragedy, becoming, therefore, a poetic and unity model. The present academic contribution, based on a bi-disciplinary exigency due to early affinities between ancient Greek tragedy and opera, comes to enlighten the role of ancient model played on the tragédie-opéra’s theoretical elaboration and stage performance from 1774 to 1779. Although ancient tragedy responds not only to new ideas introduced by the Enlightenment but to the poetics of reformed opera, textual, formal and poetic inspirations, up to generating dramatic tableaux, mark a composite and immediate affiliation. New relation between ancient dramatic and lyric theatre is established on two fundamental directions: music’s new role as a poems interpreter, a collaborator to global result and as an art claiming its autonomy. On the other hand, the references to Greek tragedy to legitimize the reformed opera, reveals the emancipation of ancient Greek tragedy. The parallel itinerary of a composer-dramatist and a librettist, finishing, for the first, and, starting, for the second, with Iphigénie en Tauride, demonstrates that the global model, based on a felt conception of Greek tragedy, finds its place in the neo-classical movement

Full textMegara was one of the most active cilies of ancient Greece in term of colonization because she participated between the VIIIth-VIth centuries B. C. In the foundation of a significant number of settlements in Sicily (Megara Hyblaea and Selinous), the Propontis (Astakos, Chalcedon, Olbia, Selymbria and Byzantium) and the Black Sea (Herakleia Pontica and Mesambria). For the understanding of the Megarian colonization, we divided our research into three great parts. In the first one, we examine some events of the ancient history of Megara, especially the founding of the Megarian state, the relationships of Megara with the neighbouring cities of Corinth and Athens, the development of the Megarian society and the internal conflicts. In the second place, we consider the foundation of the Megarian colonial settlements, by stressing the global occupation of the territory by the colonists or the relations between the various groups of colonists, namely between the apoikoi ("first colonists") and the epoikoi ("later colonists"). We also examine the first rapports between Greeks and the indigenous peoples. Finally, the third part of the thesis relates to the political institutions (civic subdivisions and magistracies) of Megarian origin attested in the colonies. By examining the causes of the Megarian colonization, we underline the important part played in this movement of expansion by the competition and the conflicts between the aristocratic families. We consider in addition that the Megarian colonies were the result of an original synoikism, of a gathering of several groups of colonists, most often ethnically heterogeneous

Full textLorsque l’on se place du point de vue de la perception et de la représentation d’un objet, l’étude de ces deux supports particuliers offre des angles d’approches distincts, mais néanmoins complémentaires, sur une même problématique. En effet, il apparaît que l’horizon social d’Hérodote et celui des artisans du Céramique d’Athènes diffèrent grandement, ce qui induit naturellement une appréhension de l’altérité qui est propre à chacun d’eux et qui transparaît dans leurs productions. Les deux vecteurs de diffusion (littéraire et pictural) des représentations de l’Autre sont, quant à eux, soumis à des contraintes qui leur sont spécifiques et qui varient en fonction de la nature du support, entraînant une différence dans le niveau d’accès aux structures mentales individuelles et collectives propres à leurs auteurs. Les variations d’échelles à partir desquelles nous choisissons d’envisager la représentation de l’altérité possèdent des pertinences distinctes puisqu’elles permettent de faire apparaître des phénomènes jusqu’alors invisibles, en déplaçant l’accent des stratégies collectives à celles individuelles. Un questionnement qui prendrait en compte ces différents facteurs aboutit à l’approfondissement des conclusions sur les mécanismes à l’œuvre dans la construction des identités de l’Autre et donc de Soi, ouvrant ainsi une fenêtre sur l’histoire intérieure de l’« homme grec », figure multiple et mouvante que le changement d’éclairage que nous opérons (de l’individuel au collectif) permet de cerner avec un peu plus de finesse.
Dans notre étude sur les logiques de construction de l’altérité à l’œuvre dans les Histoires, nous avons choisi d’interroger les mécanismes qui prennent part à l’élaboration des identités à plusieurs niveaux, en progressant du général vers le particulier, depuis les structures les plus larges de l’image du monde, jusqu’à la mise en scène des individus, en passant par celles des contrées et des peuples. Chacun des niveaux interrogés présentant des problématiques distinctes, les solutions apportées ont logiquement divergé, dévoilant chaque fois des mécanismes de représentation différents. La pertinence de cette approche qui met l’accent, dans un premier temps, sur la géographie, réside dans le fait que pour Hérodote, un individu est indissociable du milieu physique dans lequel il évolue qui, par un système de déterminisme environnemental tempéré par le régime politique (selon qu’il est libre ou soumis, par exemple, au Grand Roi) influe profondément sur sa personnalité et son caractère. Il semble évident que le modèle abstrait qu’est la représentation géographique qui transcrit l’espace terrestre par l’acte du graphein, est tout autant une description qu’une interprétation ou une explication du monde. Il s’appuie sur des processus sociaux de sémantisation de l’environnement, qui sont le produit toujours particulier et contextuel d’un acte individuel, liés à la perception et à l’imagination structurante d’Hérodote. Nous avons ainsi d’abord souligné le poids de l’héritage des penseurs ioniens, et en particulier d’Hécatée de Milet, dans le type de regard et de questionnement posé par l’enquêteur sur le monde et les réalités qui le composent. De ce point de vue, son inscription dans une tradition « disciplinaire », possédant ses propres particularismes et présupposés inconscients, détermine de façon importante une grande part non seulement de sa méthodologie mais aussi de sa problématique. Nous avons également insisté sur l’omniprésence du politique dans la vision du monde d’Hérodote. En cela, l’attirance à peine voilée vers un bipartisme Europe/Asie dans le découpage de l’oikoumenê, illustre parfaitement le fait que le discours hérodotéen rend compte d’une géographie humaine qui traduit la réalité d’un monde tel qu’elle est vécue par les peuples et les individus, en se faisant le témoin des bouleversements géopolitiques qu’ont entraînées les Guerres Médiques. Nous nous sommes également penché sur les transformations opérées dans le réel qui visent à rendre la représentation du monde significative sur le plan structurel, mais également intelligible sur le plan purement cognitif. La schématisation géographique à laquelle est soumis l’espace à décrire, qui se lit dans les symétries et les alignements orientés par des facteurs narratifs et discursifs, permet au public de reconstituer une image cohérente du monde ou d’un territoire à partir de la représentation qui en est donnée. L’étude du tracé de certaines frontières, ou encore de la représentation de la Libye, nous a permis de mettre en lumière quelques-uns de ces mécanismes. Nous nous sommes ensuite tourné vers la représentation des peuples, des ethnê, en nous intéressant tout d’abord aux raisons qui ont poussé l’enquêteur à se consacrer plus spécifiquement aux nomoi et à l’histoire de certains d’entre eux et pas à ceux des autres. L’étude des listes de peuples nous a permis de mettre au jour les catégories employées par l’auteur afin de différencier et d’individualiser les ethnê à l’intérieur des ensembles plus vastes qui les englobent. Nous avons alors constaté que l’élaboration des identités collectives, grecque comme étrangères, s’effectuait par le jeu de certains critères (culturels, géographiques, ethniques, etc.) dont le choix et la variation d’intensité sont profondément liés au contexte de rédaction des Histoires et aux buts idéologiques que s’est fixés Hérodote à travers son récit des Guerres Médiques. Le premier point repose sur l’affrontement entre Athènes et Sparte, le second tient, entre autres choses, à la définition de la grécité en tant qu’idéologie universalisante qui met l’accent sur une vision supra-civique de la Grèce. Nous nous sommes enfin penché sur les différents aspects de la représentation du Lydien. Dans un passage spécifique des Histoires (I, 155), nous avons montré que le Lydien prend l’apparence d’un anti-modèle du citoyen isonomique, et permet à Hérodote de tenir un discours idéologique engagé visant à rendre compte des comportements anti-démocratiques de certains individus qui devaient faire débat dans l’Athènes contemporaine de la rédaction des Histoires. Enfin, l’étude des principaux personnages lydiens (Crésus et Pythios), de leurs actions et de leurs propos, nous a permis de conclure que ces individus ne sont mis en scène qu’en tant que personnages fictifs, d’une part garants de la logique structurelle narrative qui les dépasse, d’autre part incorporant ou intériorisant une catégorie sociale, marquant par là le déni de tout comportement individualisé.
En progressant dans notre étude du général au particulier, nous avons été frappé par le réseau de dépendances qui se tisse entre les différents niveaux superposés que nous avons tenté d’isoler :monde, territoire, peuple et individu. L’oikoumenê est perçu comme la juxtaposition de territoires définis par les populations qui y vivent, elles-mêmes constituées d’individus. Le climat influe sur la structure générale du monde, sur celle des territoires, ainsi que sur le caractère des populations selon un déterminisme environnemental que nous avons mis en lumière. Ce même déterminisme est toutefois tempéré par le jeu du politique, les peuples libres et ceux assujettis à des rois n’étant pas égaux devant leur environnement géographique ou climatique respectif. C’est encore le politique qui, tout en fixant les contraintes de construction individuelle, les personnages n’ayant pas d’autonomie propre, influe sur le découpage du monde qui voit s’affronter l’Europe et l’Asie.
Nous avons consacré la seconde partie de notre travail à l’image du Noir dans la céramique, car de tous les étrangers que les peintres de vases ont choisi de figurer, le Noir a cela de particulier qu’il est le seul à présenter une altérité physique patente. En effet, quel que soit son vêtement, son armement ou le contexte dans lequel il est représenté, il ne fait aucun doute que nous avons affaire à un étranger. Nous avons découpé notre corpus de vases en différentes séries que nous avons étudiées successivement, ce qui nous a permis d’en souligner la logique et d’en faire ressortir le sens. Nous avons tout d’abord remarqué que les scènes de vie quotidienne montrent le Noir sous les traits de l’esclave, mais d’un esclave au statut iconique particulier, puisqu’il semble être mis en scène afin de souligner l’aisance financière de son propriétaire. Nous nous sommes ensuite intéressé aux représentations des personnages mythiques d’origine éthiopienne, au premier rang desquels Memnon, Andromède et Céphée. Hormis ce dernier, qui est caractérisé à une seule reprise par un faciès non-grec, il apparaît que les imagiers les ont généralement représentés avec une physionomie grecque, comme si leur ascendance divine empêchait de les affubler de traits négroïdes. Si Memnon est généralement figuré sous les traits paradigmatiques de l’hoplite héroïque des cycles épiques, les autres sont souvent vêtus « à l’orientale ». Les compagnons de Memnon, les guerriers éthiopiens, représentent une large part du corpus des scènes figurées. Ils apparaissent en grand nombre sur les alabastres du Groupe des Alabastres au Noir, qui sont construits sur un schéma pictural très répétitif, et pour lesquels il est possible d’expliquer leur présence, entre autres raisons, par une adéquation entre le support (vase à parfum renvoyant à l’Egypte) et le décor exotique. Sur les autres types de vases, nous avons constaté qu’en tant que combattant marginal, non-hoplitique, l’Ethiopien est cantonné, sans surprise, dans un registre voisin, mais pas confondu, de celui des Scythes ou des Amazones, desquelles il est proche sur le plan de certains contextes narratifs (liés à l’épisode troyen), mais également des catégories de la guerre (en particulier dans la série du Groupe des Alabastres au Noir). Les grandes variations dans son équipement et dans son apparence, suggèrent toutefois qu’il n’est pas un modèle de référence habituellement utilisé par les peintres qui l’ont bien souvent employé dans un rôle contextualisant, par exemple en tant qu’attribut de Memnon qu’il permet d’identifier. Nous montrons ensuite que les raisons de la grande popularité de la figure du Noir sur les vases moulés en forme de têtes humaines étaient diverses et variées. A l’instar des alabastres, sa présence sur les aryballes est probablement à mettre sur le compte d’une adéquation du contenu et du contenant, l’individu négroïde faisant référence, dans l’imaginaire collectif, à ces contrées éloignées d’où provenaient les parfums. Extrapolé sur les vases liés au banquet, canthares, mugs et oinochoai, il donne l’opportunité aux artisans d’explorer le registre de l’altérité face auquel le citoyen athénien affirme son identité. Que sa présence s’explique par une assimilation du vase à celui qui le manipule, comme c’est le cas pour la femme, ou qu’il repose sur un jeu de mots basé sur un épithète du vin (aithops), le commentateur moderne doit garder à l’esprit que bon nombre des raisons qui ont poussé les artisans à représenter ce motif sur ce type particulier de vase nous sont perdues à jamais. En effet, hors de tout contexte narratif, ces têtes restent ce qu’il y a de plus proche du pur motif décoratif pour lequel les interprétations devaient être multiples. Enfin, cette exploration de l’image du Noir dans la céramique n’aurait pas été complète sans une étude de la figure de l’Egyptien. En effet de nombreux exemples illustrent le fait que les artisans athéniens ont souvent représenté les Egyptiens sous des traits négroïdes, qu’il s’agisse de l’individu dévoré par un crocodile sur les vases-statuettes de Sotades, ou de celui suppliant un Grec sur le col d’un autre vase plastique de ce même artisan, mais surtout des prêtres ayant pris part à l’épisode mythique opposant Héraclès au pharaon Bousiris, épisode au cours duquel ils endossent le rôle du mauvais sacrificateur, sacrilège et cannibale. Dans tous les cas, les Egyptiens, bien que représentés sous des traits négroïdes comme le sont les guerriers éthiopiens mythiques, sont des anti-combattants, des individus qui brillent par leur lâcheté et qui jamais ne prennent les armes. Ainsi, quel que soit le contexte, le spectateur ne peut en aucun cas confondre ces deux peuples qui n’ont en commun que la morphologie.
L’image du Noir qui est donnée à voir dans la céramique attique n’est pas homogène, car elle entre dans un système complexe d’oppositions qui n’a pas pour finalité de tracer un portrait de lui, mais plutôt de définir l’identité du citoyen. Ainsi, le Noir, comme n’importe quel autre étranger, n’est pas en lui-même l’objet final du discours, puisqu’il participe toujours à la mise en scène de valeurs ou de catégories sociales qui le dépassent et qui, à travers lui, visent un but autre.
Au terme de cette étude, nous avons constaté que dans les deux discours (littéraire et pictural) le regard sur l’étranger vise une utilité politique, puisque la représentation de l’Autre participe à l’identification des membres d’un même groupe social autour d’une série de critères communs, ou de valeurs sociales partagées. Cependant chaque support possède ses spécificités propres qui offrent des éclairages différents sur la problématique que nous avons étudiée.
En premier lieu, nous sommes face à des sources qui permettent un accès différent aux structures mentales individuelles et collectives de leurs auteurs.
D’un côté, la nature du texte des Histoires, par sa longueur, sa richesse et la diversité des thèmes qui y sont abordés permet de décrypter quelques-unes des stratégies individuelles d’un auteur conscient de l’utilité sociale de son œuvre et du rôle politique qui est le sien. Cependant, l’absence d’équivalent aux Histoires dans la production littéraire contemporaine ne nous permet que difficilement de juger de la part de généralisable du discours hérodotéen. D’un autre côté, le format même de la céramique attique à décor figuré ne permet pas le type de discours à l’œuvre dans les Histoires, et plus généralement dans les œuvres littéraires « savantes », puisque l’imagerie fonctionne sur un système de modèle et de contre-modèle par rapport à la norme grecque dont elle permet de dégager les structures sociales et culturelles fondamentales. Ajoutons à cela que cette céramique est produite en masse par des artisans que nous arrivons, certes, à identifier, mais au sujet desquels, pris individuellement, nous ne savons pratiquement rien. Ainsi, ce support offre un potentiel de généralisation optimal, puisque l’on observe des schémas identiques dans la production de nombreux peintres, et parfois également leur persistance sur plusieurs décennies.
En second lieu, la différence de formation intellectuelle entre Hérodote et les peintres de céramique est perceptible dans le type de regard et de questionnement que chacun pose sur l’étranger.
La grande complexité de l’image du monde des Histoires suggère un savoir particulier propre à l’enquêteur qui n’est certainement pas partagé par l’ensemble de la population athénienne et notamment les artisans du Céramique. Cependant, même si ces derniers ne possédaient pas le même horizon social que l’historien d’Halicarnasse, pas plus que son héritage intellectuel spécifique issu de la tradition des penseurs ioniens, il n’en demeure pas moins que la diversité des épisodes mythiques qu’ils ont représentés sur les vases témoigne de leurs connaissances relativement étendues dans ce domaine. En cela, la céramique à décor figuré se fait probablement l’écho d’une culture populaire basée sur la connaissance des divers épisodes des cycles épiques, ou encore des grands mythes, notamment à travers la poésie. En tant que support très largement diffusé, qui s’adresse à toutes les couches de la population, la céramique se nourrit des opinions générales, reflétant en quelques sortes le pouls de l’ensemble des Athéniens et pas seulement les considérations d’une petite portion qui aurait été plus éduquée, ou plus au fait de certaines réalités étrangères lointaines.
L’étude croisée de ces deux sources, presque complémentaires en tous points, nous permet de comprendre que de la même manière qu’il est vain de vouloir définir l’ « homme grec », il est impossible d’essentialiser la représentation de l’étranger en Grèce ancienne à une période donnée. Il convient plutôt d’en apprécier l’ensemble des aspects, qui sont autant de fenêtres ouvertes sur l’histoire intérieure des hommes grecs.

Full textThe feminine characters'analysis in the orestie, their insertion in ritual gestures and their function in the drama's schooe emphisize the existence of the young maid's tragical identity whose qualities are to be studied by comparison with the young maids from the homeric past and with from the barbarian countries described by herodot. The hippocratic practitisner's speech, as well as the stele express the recognition of the virginal group altogether with the negation of the wife. As for the social position given to the maid, it involves challenging and tutelling powers. In fact, the dowry's study and the family alliances show the father's determination to govern his descent by his daugther's wedding as well as the matrimonial strategie's mutation on the political level. It is necessary that the young maid stay out of the seduction's territory so as to show that the guilty adultery is love and death's trap. Because the delictious deed has in athena, an exceptional importance and political, indeed. The character's signification maid or sister can also be understood in relation with an isonomic society which fears that the young maid, who is the father's authority's mirror and instrument, could be used as a vanishing power's concept and a potential threat of discord. Against that danger, is the sister, auxiliary and peaceful agent, because she has no erotic link. Athena, divine young maid, poliad divinity, gathers the naked signs of a recognition which is like a civic identity

Full textThe present study offers an exploration of selected representations of physical and moral pain in archaic and classical Greek poetry, with a focus on the poetics. The analysis centers on the extent to which depictions of pain fulfill a central role in the works selected, as motor of the plot, instrumental mode of characterization, and link to key overarching themes. In the course of the examination of its poetic function, the cultural-historical question of pain’s ethical and social value emerges as a dominant background axis of investigation. Three works serve as case studies: the Homeric Iliad (book V in particular), Aeschylus’ Oresteia (mainly the Agamemnon), and Sophocles’ Philoctetes. The first chapter deals with the portrayal of divine pain in the Iliad, by contrasting it with that of mortals. The second chapter seeks to offer a better understanding of the portrayals of pain and loss in Aeschylus’ Oresteia, with particular focus on the perverse nature of Clytemnestra’s maternal suffering. The third and final chapter turns to the representation of pain in Sophocles’ Philoctetes and the ambivalence of the eponymous hero’s suffering, analyzing how it serves both as a threat and a catalyst to the humanity of the sufferer himself and that of his witnesses

Full textLittle is known concerning the history of arboriculture in Greece; only the grapevine and the olive tree have been a subject of interest for a long time. The aim of this work is to understand how fruit trees were cultivated in Greece between the Neolithic and the Roman period. This is why published archaeobotanical data (seeds and fruits) from 56 sites were taken into account in our synthesis. A survey of all references to fruits and fruit trees in epigraphic documents (Mycenaean and classic Greek) and in ancient authors has also been achieved. Archaeological pips and stones were submitted to Geometric Morphometry. Our approach reveals how fruit trees were used from the Neolithic up to the Roman period; while the grapevine, the olive tree and the fig tree predominate ail the time, it is clear that the importance of certain wild fruits decreases after the Bronze Age as new others are introduced. The first domesticated grapevines appear during the Bronze Age while a single selected variety of olive tree is present from the early Bronze Age to the Roman period. The first manifestations of arboriculture concern woodland edges and partially cleared land plots, real fruit tree plantations appear during the late Bronze Age, at the latest. Extensive vineyards appear during the Classical period, while a more specialized agriculture aiming at maximum profit characterizes the Roman period, as testified by the works on agronomy and the search for new varieties of olives and grapevines. Despite the search for higher yields, the use of less selected domesticates and wild fruits remains a reality until the roman period

Full textCan the representation of ancient greece provide an analytical framework for understanding post-revolutionary france? this thesis argues the affirmative and examines french readings of greek antiquity in the context of its philosophical and ideological debates. The very extensive literature on this subject is examined by means of five thematic analyses, in each case concentrating on the reflection of a thinker deemed representative. I analyse the invocation of greek antiquity in revolutionary and counter-revolutionary thought and practice (chateaubriand), the definition of modern literature (germaine de stael), the religious debates (benjamin constant), the institutionalisation of philology (emile egger), and finally in thinking the political (louis menard). Two conceptual criteria have governed the thematic choice and textual interpretation: the concept of progress and that of historical comparison. Progress, as the principle catalyst in all of nineteenth-century theoretical thought, gives rise to a homogenisation and linearisation of time and accords the future a teleological function. Seen throught this conceptual grid, greek antiquity becomes an intellectual entity synonymous with the infancy of humanity. The historic comparison of the greek city with nineteenth-century french society wich takes place in terms of this conceptualisation of time is the thematic focus of the five studies

Full textThis thesis aims to provide a complete overview of the beliefs of Xenophon about divination. Using a rigorous analysis of all the works of this ancient author who has long been depreciated, it seems clear that the problem of the consultation of the gods, far from being addressed incidentally and spontaneously like a traditional legacy that critical thinking has not reached, is on the contrary an essential element in the formation of a deep thinking on piety, and more generally of the relationships between men and gods. On the other hand, due to Xenophon’s zeal to have reported stories or thoughts about divination, this analysis provides an opportunity to a better understanding of the intricacies of this ritual lying at the core of Greek religion and that can not be reduced to a form of superstition.
Kovacs, Alexandra. "Le végétarisme dans l'antiquité grecque : norme ou marginalité ?" Thesis, Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017UBFCC004.
Full textMust the abstinence of meat be conceived as a rejection of the norm, which is defined by the participation of the citizens to the blood sacrifice and to the following consumption of the flesh, two fundamental civico-religious acts ? The current historiography considers that if civic life structures and recognizes itself through the killing of the animal and its consumption, then the place of the citizens refusing meat consumption can only be marginal. Using all of the literary sources from antiquity (VIth cent. B.C.-Vth cent. A.D.), this dissertation, far from confirming this analysis, reveals a much more complex situation. The abstinence of meat affirms itself as a marker of identity, clearly showing the normative plurality of the practice, flexible depending on the parties involved and/or excluded. In fact, as all dietary practices, norms are not excluding, and one can conform oneself to it depending on the context in which they are shaped. Thus, vegetarianism does not hinder the duties of the citizens, and does not entail marginality within the city

Full textThe object of this dissertation consists of the inquiries he carried out as a Hellenist from his start at the CNRS (1948) to his admission to the Collège de France (1974). It attempts to objectify the epistemological normativity at work in the gradual development of a new discipline, historical anthropology. The historical anthropology of Vernant has been elaborated through a series of encounters between miscellaneous precursors: Louis Gernet, Ignace Meyerson, Georges Dumézil, Claude Lévi-Strauss. Alongside, we demonstrate that this new discipline cannot be reduced to thèse encounters. Indeed, it defines a proper style of inquiries through the connection of the diachronic dimension of historical thinking and the synchronie dimension of structural thought. An explanatory scheme incorporating these dimensions is implicitly modelled on the bricolage process. It thus makes the original insertion of the thought of Vernant in the post-war philosophical and political issues understandable. The history of reason is one of those issues. Then two radically different perspectives collide : that of a pluralization of types of rationality and of a rescue of reason against dogmatism and totalitarianism. We argue at last that the historical anthropology of Vernant is shaped in Western thought as a reconstruction Connecting a new relation to the past - henceforth not conceived no more as the authority of tradition but as an opportunity to be able to think the future – with a political philosophy making critical reason the key point of human action in history

Full textThis thesis offers a new critical edition of the second pentade of the Library of History, one of the many parts of Diodorus of Sicily’s universal history (first century B.C.), which was transmitted to us in fragments; along with this study comes a translation and a mainly historical, but also philological, linguistic and stylistic commentary. The indirect tradition, thanks to its compilation work, made the transmission of some of the text’s original parts possible; these parts go, historically, from the end of the mythological period (book VI) to the first Persian war (end of book X). It is relatively homogeneous and divided into two separate parts: on the one hand, the Excerpta Constantiniana (an Encyclopedia that Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus wrote in the Xth century) includes a large number of Diodorus’ fragments, mainly used for the moral enlightening they provide with. On the other hand, a few Christian and Byzantine authors have quoted Diodorus in their work (mainly chroniclers interested in his view on universal history). All introductory notes and other notes included in this analysis try to always link these reliquiae with their precise original and historical context, as well as with the general historiographical project of Diodorus’ work, in order to understand the method used by the Sicilian historian and to underline the specific interest of his work, putting aside its unquestionable value as a documentary, which the modern reader will certainly be able to appreciate

This picture remains, in a sense, in line with the classical tradition; chateaubriand has followed close on the heels of the ancients, and found, through them, ideas, literary tricks. Themes and poetic language. By his writting he has revived the homeric world at the expense of the historical authenticity. He didn't understand the antiquity like the classics had felt it : they had tryed to find the principle of eternity and of universality, and he stuck to the exterior elements. With his state of mind and his feelings, very well expressed in prose, the hero is more like a romantic character that a man living at the end of the third century. Chateaubriand has revealed magnificently, with the undeniable magic of his style, the charm of the meridional landscape that the classics had often neglected or described badly. His literary ideas are not a retreat or a full return to the classical aesthetics, they are constructed by the search of harmony between two aesthetics, classical and romantic

Full textThe Greek novel from the imperial era, represented mainly by Chariton, Xenophon of Ephesus, Achilles Tatius, and Heliodorus, is characterized by strong conventions which lead to an unchanged pattern : young lovers go through various ordeals (pirates, false-deaths, rival lovers) before arriving at their happy ending. They have been considered as "idealistic" novels, distinguishing thereby from Latin novels known as Petronius' Satiricon and Apuleius' Metamorphoses, which are more focused on realistic and satirical comic techniques, like obscenity mixed up with grotesque. Nevertheless, we can also find some comic aspects in the Greek novels which, though differing from those of Latin novels, involve skills in a range of styles, from spiritual games to rude realism, as much as real literary ambition. Our study of comic techniques in Greek novels aims to reveal idiosyncratic aspirations and personalities, that correspond with the richness and complexities of the Greek literature from the imperial era
Spahiu, Arsim. "Les Pélasges et les Illyriens dans la Grèce antique." Besançon, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005BESA1036.
Full textThis study deals with the problems about the role of Pelasgians and Illyrians in prehistoric and protohistoric Greece. The ancient sources make clear that the Aetolians, the Athenians, the Arcadians, the Ionians in the Peloponnesus, etc. Were called Pelasgians. The Illyrians, the Thracians, etc. , who started their incursions into Greece, transformed the ethnic structures of the Greek speaking territory. In classical times Hellenes are certainly a genos. In ancient Greece, story mixes with legend and dreams with reality so as to capture all the better the essence of this epic world, a world whose roots are not only Greek, but also Pelasgic, Illyrian, etc. The Minoan culture is not Greek. The Greeks do not refuse homage to the old gods of the country. The Aegean gods are identified with the gods of Troy. Rome appropriates the Aeneas tradition, an Illyrian tradition. The Troyans are Dardani or Teucri. Epirus, Macedonia and Rome claim a Troyan ancestry. The Macedonians and the Epirotes are Illyrians. The author may draw a balance about the interplay of literary tradition and archaeological findings. Sparse in the early Mycenaean period, connections between Greece and the North become much closer after 1200. The pottery of Urnfield type, found in Greece and Troy, explains an arrival of new populations. The “barbarian” wares found in Greece in the XIIth century, most of the bronzes, etc. Are non-Greek in ancestry. They are non-Mycenaean in the sense that they do not appear prior to 1200. They are of northern origin of inspiration. The interpretation of these arguments is open to new insights from unexpected quarters

Full textScientific works on antique food have been tackled for decades. However, there are few researches that deeply treated the place that the food in itself occupied during the Greek civilization. In order to answer that question, we have decided to focus on different documentary sources by comparing them. These sources enabled us to have a typology of the most eaten food by highlighting many phases or culinary mode. We also asked ourselves about culinary methods and the place of the cook by achieving a list of the different people that appeared in the different sources. To be able to do this, we give emphasis to the existence of different schools and specialties taught in Greece and Great Greece. This movement gave way to the creation of a gastronomic literature that was forgotten and yet it could be found in the encyclopedic work of Athénée of Naucratis. During Antiquity, food did not have a gastronomic purpose. Nevertheless, it was used for medical purposes in order to cure different diseases. The different recipes that are the core of this work help us to distinguish the different use of food. However, they prevent us from having a global view on culinary methods on the different scales that constitute Greece and Great Greece’s society. Yet some aspects of this culinary tradition are still carried on. Indeed, it has been noticed in some geographical areas that some recipes or food use used in the religious or cultural context were able to survive

Textual and iconographic sources ought to be considered together to shed light upon the staging of the comic body as it was perceived and imagined. In particular, the conclusions of this work are based upon the comparison of Greek comedies from the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. and South-Italian vase-paintings of comic subjects. The first chapter presents the two corpuses and the questions raised by their comparison. Chapter two describes the material characteristics of the comic costume. The third and fourth chapters focus on the semiotics of the costume ; the signs of the genre are treated first, followed by a discussion of the social and moral characterization of the personages. The final chapter pertains to the dramatic function of the comic gesture

Full textBuildings designed to house, protect and emphasize statuary groups in ancient Greece are examined in this study. The periods taken into consideration are mainly the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic ones. Groups, shapes of bases, as well as types of shelters are defined in order to show the interest of their joint study. Statuary groups installed in open-air sanctuaries and agoras are analysed in the first part in order to point out the advantages of the architectural display. The archaeological inquiry is combined with a lexical one which shows that the Ancient Greek had no word to designate statuary group or the building designed for it. In the second part, in order to obtain a typological classification, we consider the shape of the statue base, the distance between it and the walls of the building, the opening in façade or the closing of the shelter. Groups are sometimes installed in buildings designed for another purpose, but most of our examples are built specifically in order to emphasize the statuary group. The third part highlights the variety of shelters’ form: hypaethral structures, niches, wide-opened buildings, buildings opened in the façade or enclosed ones housed cultic, votive, honorific, commemorative or funerary groups. Materials used in construction are also taken into consideration: like the number of statues and the dimensions of the shelter which houses them, they determinate the cost of the construction. This study stresses a new architectural function, arrangement and protection of a statuary group, and the buildings designed for that purpose

Full textSubterranean spaces were often documented through infernal cults leading to an amalgam with chtonian places. If not necessarily wrong, this interpretaion is simplistic and does take into consideration neither the multiplicity of forms these spaces endorse, nor the variety of attached worships. Thus, among these places, three main sets can be distinguished corresponding to three spatial and symbolic approaches. Firstly caves dedicated to nature deities. In this case, the symbolic and spatial dimension of the natural cavity corresponds to an underground space with horizontal progress. Therein, sinking does not mean going down, but just moving inside the shelter. The cult is not chtonian, but Uranian. Secondly underpasses or Aulon in the form of a natural or artificial structures, within a broader temenos. They are related to a ritual use of space in which the movement is associated with the katabasis concept. These structures act as places of communication with the underworld and processing. They include an obvious chhonian dimension. Thirdly, the underground space can be associated with oracular practice.
