Representation Of The Gods In The Iliad By Homer: A Brief Analysis

Year 2012, Issue: 15, 1 - 13, 01.06.2012

Abstract

Klasik dönem edebiyatında, özellikle de trajedi ve şiirde yapıtın sonundaki ana çelişkiyi çözmek için tanrıların müdahalelerini görürüz. Yunan mitolojisinin yazılı ilk kaydı olan İlyada başından sonuna kadar bu müdahaleyi içermesi açısından iyi bir örnektir. Homer bu müdahaleleri göstermek için insan gibi, doğa üstü güçlere sahip, kontrolcü, mucizevi, kahraman ve aldatıcı bir tanrı portresi çizer. Bu makalenin amacı, Homeros’un İlyada’da Tanrılıarı nasıl resmettiğini ve aralarındaki hiyerarşiyi ve rollerini nasıl gösterdiğini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır

REPRESENTATION OF THE GODS IN THE ILIAD BY HOMER: A BRIEF ANALYSIS

Year 2012, Issue: 15, 1 - 13, 01.06.2012

Abstract

In classical literature, especially in tragedy and poetry, we see the intervention of the gods at the end of the work in order to resolve the main conflict. Being the first written record of the Greek mythology, the Iliad is a good example of weaving this intervention from the beginning to the end. Homer, in order to show this intervention, portrays the gods as humanlike, super powered, controlling, miraculous, heroic, and deceptive. The aim of this article to show Homer`s representation of the gods as well as the hierarchy of the gods and their roles in the Iliad
