- The aim of this volume is to develop a new range of perspectives on divine anthropomorphism in the ancient receptions of Homer. How have the auditors and the readers of Homer understood the apparent humanity of the gods of the Iliad and the Odyssey? What uses have the successors of Homer had for divine anthropomorphism in their own texts and images? How has exegesis reconfigured that divine humanity across the centuries? Following an extensive introduction focused on the relevant ancient definitions and history of scholarship, ten case studies analyse key issues and moments. The whole volume is in French.
