Abstract

TAPIA ZUNIGA, Pedro C.. Odiseo y el divino porquero: un entretenimiento retórico de Homero (Odisea, XIV). Acta poét [online]. 2008, vol.29, n.1, pp.17-48. ISSN 2448-735X.

This article recreates a dialogue that takes place between Eumeus and the beggar Odysseus, and the intent is to show that the dialogue is rhetorical, not only because of the words, its prime matter, but by managing certain artistic principles of rhetoric, as understood in the classical period in Greece: "the art of leading souls with words". Eumeus has the quite serious fear that his master Odysseus has died and will not return; the beggar wants to lead the swineherd to the conviction that Odysseus is alive and will soon return: Homer's style flows without his use of good rhetoric being noticeable.

Keywords : Homero; Odiseo; Eumeo; retórica; diálogo.
