This thesis was written to examine Goethe's efforts to emulate the Greeks and write in their spirit. Works most helpful in the study were Humphry Trevelyan's Goethe and the Greeks, Kenry Hatfield's Aesthetic Paganism in German Literature, Eliza Butler's The Tyranny of Greece over Germany, and the works of Goethe which show his relationship with the Greeks.

La civilisation égyptienne « pharaonique » et la culture grecque « politique », séparées par la mer, la langue, l’écriture et les traditions, passent souvent pour irréductibles l’une à l’autre. Qui plus est, la disparition, vers l’an 1000, des « civilisations du bronze » (Nouvel Empire, palais Mycéniens) et l’entrée dans l’obscurité d’une période de transition (« Troisième Période Intermédiaire » en Egypte, « âges obscurs » en Grèce) avaient fait rompre les amarres entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée. Un texte d’Hérodote attribue la reprise du contact entre les deux mondes à des mercenaires Ioniens et Cariens qui aidèrent Psammétique I à conquérir le pouvoir pharaonique, à partir de 664 av. J.-C. Quant à l’archéologie grecque d'Égypte, elle insiste sur la date de 625 environ comme terminus post quem, c’est-à-dire l’année à partir de laquelle la présence grecque en Égypte est bien documentée. Cette reconstitution des faits, qui doit tout à Hérodote et à une archéologie extrêmement parcellaire, laisse complètement dans le noir les siècles précédents, en particulier le VIIIème dit « géométrique », qui est pourtant l’âge homérique, et le VIIème dit « orientalisant », qui voit les Grecs multiplier leurs contacts avec les civilisations de Méditerranée orientale. Or, tant les poèmes homériques (essentiellement l’Odyssée) que la découverte d’objets égyptiens ou égyptisants en Crète et ailleurs en Égée posent le problème de l’existence possible de contacts entre l'Égypte et le monde Égéen avant le milieu du VIIème siècle. Ces contacts furent-ils directs ou indirects (intermédiaire phénicien) ? Pacifiques ou conflictuels (piraterie) ? Se firent-ils par l’ouest (doriens) ou par l’est (ioniens) ? Comment sont nées les conceptions grecques de l'Égyptien et du Noir, « les plus justes et les plus pieux des hommes » ? Autant de questions dont le réexamen devra être mené dans un questionnement incluant l’histoire ancienne, l’archéologie et l’histoire des régulations sociales. / In Homers‟ Odyssey, a poem usually dated circa 700 BC, the famous and shrewd Odysseus, when he finally comes back home incognito, pretends to be a Cretan sailor just arrived from Egypt. His lie is so convincing that everybody at Ithaka believes it. This dissertation is, in a sense, intended to show that, if the Homeric poems are of course fictional creations, they express, in this specific case, some historical reality. In other words, we see here something that we can interpret as representative of a socio-cultural fact, namely the existence of nautical ties connecting the Aegean world to Egypt duringthe “Geometric” (IXth-VIIIth c.BC) and early “Orientalizing” (beginning VIIth c. BC) Periods. These connections have so far been ignored or underestimated even in recent scholarly tradition. This scientific bias rests on some preconceived ideas, namely : the trust unduly given to the Herodotean narrative according to which there were no Greeks in Egypt before Psammetichus I (664 BC) and the belief in the so-called “Phoenician middleman” as an exclusive intermediary. On the contrary, recent researches on the Mediterranean world in the “longue durée” point to new appreciation of Greek presence on every coast of the Eastern Mediterranean in the first half of the first Millennium BC.Greek presence on the Nile Delta shore, which is not archeologically visible because of geological subsidence, can be, if not altogether proven, at least clearly suggested by the huge amount of so-called Aegyptiaca found in many sites of the Aegean world. Relying on the invaluable catalogue created by N. Skon-Jedele, supplemented by new discoveries, we conclude that these artefacts, some of which are earlier than previously thought, are too numerous to be understood without the mediation of, among others, Greek traders attracted by their effectiveness, and notably by the protection they were thought to afford to the family circle.

The aim of this study is to establish what influence the impact of the new environment has on the structure of the Greek family in Cape Town, the impact on the functions which the family fulfils in the socialisation of the children, and on the family's social influence on the intergenerational relationship. The study will focus on the Greeks of rural origin, as most of the Greeks in Cape Town come from a rural background. Various anthropological studies on the Greek peasant emphasise the centrality of the Greek family in the life of the individuum.
