Together with all the historicalinaccuracies for the sake of dramatic effect, he also uses intentional,unintentional, and “necessary” anachronisms in his plays. While writing his versionof the “Homeric” tale of the Trojan War, Shakespeare brings together thecontroversies of the rampantly changing early modern world from a feudal to acapitalist one in Troilus and Cressida.In a tale stemming from the antiquity and transformed, even reproduced duringthe medieval age through the romance tradition, Shakespeare juxtaposes the“old” and the “new” in his handling of the medieval/feudal Trojans and early modern/capitalistGreeks. The “chivalric” medieval age finds its representation especially inTrojan Hector and the “modern” in Greek Ulysses. This paper examines the waysin which the past and the present are correlated in Troilus and Cressida and the “chronos” is transformed into “kairos”with the juxtaposition of contemporary ideologies in a seemingly Homeric world. KW - Shakespeare KW - Troilus and Cressida KW - anachronism KW - kairos N2 - William Shakespeare en önemli anakronistlerdendir. Oyunlarında, dramatikamaçlı yaptığı tarihsel yanlışlıkların yanı sıra bilinçli, bilinçsiz ve“gerekli” kronik hatalar görülmektedir. Troilusve Cressida oyununda Shakespeare, Truva savaşının kendi Homerik hikayesiniyazarken de hızla feodalden kapitaliste dönüşen erken modern çağın tartışmalarınıbir araya getirmektedir. Antik çağa ait olan ve orta çağ boyunca romansgeleneği ile değişen hatta yeniden yazılan hikayede Shakespeare “eski” ve“yeni”yi orta çağa ait/feudal Truvalılar ve erken modern çağa ait/kapitalistYunanlıların temsilleriyle yan yana sunmaktadır. Oyunda orta çağın “şövalyelik”özelliği Truvalı Hector’da, “modern”e ait özellikler de Yunan Ulysses üzerindentemsil edilmektedir. Bu makalede Troilusve Cressida oyununda geçmiş ve şimdiki zamanın nasıl yoğrulduğu ve çağdaşideolojilerin güya Homerik bir dünyada bir araya getirilmesiyle “kronos”unnasıl “kairos”a dönüştüğünü incelenmektedir.
