Abstract(s)
Os Poemas Homéricos, incomparáveis referentes de cultura desde a Antigui-dade, concentram a sua força expressiva na temática da transgressão de fronteiras: na Ilíada, abandonada a pátria, os Gregos acampam muito tempo diante das muralhas inex-pugnáveis de uma nação estranha, a impor a sua determinação de vingança; na Odisseia desse limiar funesto da barbárie errará Ulisses pelos confins da terra, até vir a impor a paz, armado, no umbral da sua casa. Somando referências lexicais, narrativas e míticas, uma densa rede de significações simbólicas traduz a metaforização da itinerância em conflito — e das fronteiras.
Homeric Poems, which since Classical Antiquity have been unrivaled cultural referents, concentrate their expressive force on the theme of transgression of borders: in the Iliad, once they have abandoned their homeland, the Greeks camp for a long time in front of a foreign nation's impregnable walls, imposing their determination of revenge; in the Odyssey, from this disastrous threshold of barbarism Ulysses will err on the ends of the earth, until, armed, he imposes peace on the threshold of his own house. By adding up lexical, narrative and mythical references, a dense web of symbolic meanings translates the metaphorization of conflicting wandering and of frontiers.
