O autor pergunta, a partir da iconografia da Guerra de Tróia, pelo lugar da guerra no imaginário ateniense durante os séculos VI-V a.C.. O corpus da pesquisa é constituído por 248 vasos áticos referentes a nove cenas: 1) Armamento de Aquiles; 2) Partida de Aquiles; os duelos entre 3) Páris e Menelau, 4) Enéias e Diomedes, 5) Ájax e Heitor, 6) Aquiles e Heitor, 7) Aquiles e Mêmnon; os retornos de guerreiros mortos em batalha: 8) Sono e Morte carregando o corpo de Sarpédon e 9) Ájax carregando o corpo de Aquiles. Os recortes espacial, Atenas, e cronológico, séculos VI-V a.C., foram feitos devido à escolha deliberada dos vasos áticos e ao surgimento e desaparecimento do tema nesse período. Partindo dos pressupostos de que há uma relação entre imagens e sociedade e de que as imagens são construções do imaginário social, que permitem uma aproximação às representações coletivas, o autor propõe ser a Guerra de Tróia um elemento constitutivo do imaginário ateniense nos séculos VI-V a.C. e remeter sua iconografia às representações dos atenienses sobre a atividade guerreira em seu próprio tempo. As imagens pintadas da Guerra de Tróia, antes de serem ilustrações de um evento do passado, são manifestações da imagem que a cidade de Atenas faz de si mesma em relação à guerra. Presente na memória coletiva dos atenienses, a Guerra de Tróia é um acontecimento, no qual a cidade fundamenta seus valores, sua sociedade e os respectivos papéis de seus cidadãos. Em suma, a guerra, antes de ser uma atividade restrita aos guerreiros, envolve toda a cidade, isto é, os não guerreiros, entre os quais, a mulher e o homem idoso, pais do guerreiro, ocupam um lugar preponderante. / From the iconography of the Trojan War, the author asks about the place of the war in the Athenian imaginary in the sixth and fifth centuries B.C. The corpus of the research is composed of 248 attic vases about nine scenes: 1) The arming of Achilles; 2) The departure of Achilles; the duels: 3) Paris fighting Menelaos, 4) Aeneas fighting Diomedes, 5) Ajax fighting Hector, 6) Achilles fighting Hector, 7) Achilles fighting Memnon; the returns of the dead warriors in battle: 8) Sleep and Death carrying the body of Sarpedon, and 9) Ajax carrying the body of Achilles. The choice of space, Athens, and chronological period, 6th and 5th centuries B.C., was based on a deliberate option for the attic vases and on the appearance and disappearance of the theme in this period. Based on the assumptions that there is a relationship between images and society and that images are constructs of the social imaginary, allowing an approximation to collective representations, the author proposes that the Trojan War is a constituent element of the Athenian imaginary in the sixth and fifth centuries B.C. and that its iconography refers to the representations of Athenians on the war activity in their own time. The Trojan Wars painted pictures, rather than being illustrations of an event from the past, are manifestations of the image that the city of Athens makes about itself, concerning the war. The Trojan War is an event in the collective memory of the Athenians, upon which the city establishes its values, its society and the respective roles of its citizens. In short, that war, rather than being an activity restricted to warriors, concerns the whole city, namely, the non-warriors, among them, the woman and the old man, the warriors parents, who hold an important place.

This dissertation argues that Homer's Iliad depicts the Trojan landscape as participant in or even victim of the Trojan War. This representation alludes to extra-Homeric accounts of the origins of the Trojan War in which Zeus plans the war to relieve the earth of the burden of human overpopulation. In these myths, overpopulation is the result of struggle among the gods for divine kingship. Through this allusion, the Iliad places itself within a framework of theogonic myth, depicting the Trojan War as an essential step in separating the world of gods and the world of men, and making Zeus’ position as the father of gods and men stable and secure. The Introduction covers the mythological background to which the Iliad alludes through an examination of extra-Homeric accounts of the Trojan War’s origins. Chapter One analyzes a pair of similes at Iliad 2.780-85 that compare the Akhaian army to Typhoeus, suggesting that the Trojan War is a conflict similar to Typhoeus’ attempt to usurp Zeus’ position as king of gods and men. Chapter Two demonstrates how Trojan characters are closely linked with the landscape in the poem’s first extended battle scene (4.422-6.35); the deaths of these men are a symbolic killing of the land they defend. Chapter Three discusses the aristeia of Diomedes in Book 5, where his confrontations with Aphrodite, Ares, and Apollo illustrate the heroic tendency to disrespect the status difference between gods and men. Athena’s authorization of Diomedes’ actions reveals the existence of strife among the Olympian gods, which threatens to destabilize the divine hierarchy. Chapter Four examines the Akhaian wall whose eventual destruction is recounted at the beginning of Book 12. The wall symbolizes human impiety and its destruction is a figurative fulfillment of Zeus’ plan to relieve the earth of the burden of unruly humanity. Finally, Chapter Five treats the flußkampf and Theomachy of Books 20 and 21, episodes adapting scenes of divine combat typically associated with the struggle for divine kingship. In the Iliad, these scenes show that Zeus’ power is unassailable. / text

This thesis offers a syncretic, synoptic account of Palamedes from the Trojan War. It delineates three interpretive modes: (1) that Palamedes was present all along; (2) that later poets inserted him into the Trojan narrative, either as an archetypal intellectual figure, or as Odysseus’s double; (3) that Palamedes was present only as Odysseus’s imaginary Doppelgänger. The thesis accounts for Palamedes’s scarce attention in classical texts by way of Lacanian and—via Otto Rank—Freudian psychoanalytic theory, as well as by Slavoj Žižek’s adoption of the “vanishing mediator.” After tracing a potential textual genealogy from Palamedes to Malory’s Palomydes, the thesis concludes with a reading of Palamedes’s implied presence in Inferno 26.
