Abstract
ZECCHIN DE FASANO, Graciela C.. Intromisiones líricas en Odisea*. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.1, e119. ISSN 0328-1205. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe119.
The origin of lyrical compositions in Classical Greek Literature is often explained by using as initial testimony passages from the Iliad, which refer to a paian (I.472), to a hymenaios (XVI.182) or to danced songs (XVIII.560-570 and 590-605). The aim of the present article is to analyse three passages in which it is possible to explore, within the Odyssey, the play of a performance of choral lyric discourses flowing under the coercion of the epic format. We address Penelope's lament in book 4.722-734, the presence of a parthéneion setting in book 6.99-109 and the version of thrênos singed by the Muses at the funeral for Achilles in book 24.58-62.
Keywords : Homer; Odyssey; góos; Parthéneion; thrênos.
