Abstract:
  • Homer’s “Odyssey”, viewed as a relevant literary source for Archaic Greece, has led to the development of different research domains through the medium of hermeneutics or text interpretation. One of these directions regards the reconstitution of social aspects pertaining to the Archaic Greek world. Given that Odysseus’ adventures unfold beyond the borders of the world known by the hero, Greek identity can only be rendered by exclusion, the exclusion of the Other: the reverse of the reprehensible deeds or aspects of the Other comes to define the real, or at least desirable, characteristics of the one operating the exclusion.
  • [Greci şi barbari în “Odysseia” lui Homer.] Odysseia, în calitate de izvor literar relevant pentru perioada Greciei arhaice, a oferit oportunitatea dezvoltării mai multor direcţii de cercetare pe filiera hermeneuticii, a interpretării de text. Una dintre aceste direcţii este reconstituirea aspectelor sociale ale lumii greceşti arhaice. Cum aventurile lui Odiseu sunt plasate dincolo de lumea greacă propriu-zisă, identitatea greacă nu se poate reconstitui decât prin excludere, excludere a Celuilalt: reversul aspectelor condamnabile la Celălalt devin trăsături reale sau, cel puţin, dezirabile ale celui care exclude.
