A Musa Calíope e a beleza do canto em Homero e em Hesíodo

After succinctly reconsidering the debate on the meaning of the ‘divine inspiration’ furthered by the Muses in Greek hexametric poetry, we will interpret the “proem” of Hesiod’s Theogony (lines 1-115).

Resumo:After succinctly reconsidering the debate on the meaning of the ‘divine inspiration’ furthered by the Muses in Greek hexametric poetry, we will interpret the “proem” of Hesiod’s Theogony (lines 1-115). Beginning with a reflection on Theogony 26-28, we will develop an interpretation about the epic usage of the verbs kleiō (“I glorify”), ainéo (“I praise”, “I approve”) and hymnéo (“I sing a hymn”) in order to concentrate on Calliope’s relation with the Homeric and Hesiodic understanding of the political language. We will propose to highlight Calliope’s role as a messenger of the temporality established by Zeus’ Olympic reign.
