Киклоп у човјеку: Одјеци и сазвучја у тумачењу хомерске слике

Abstract

The paper focuses on the Cyclops allegoresis in Eustathios’ Commentary on the Odyssey. It reviews the ancient imagery of the inner struggle reflected in Eustathios’ interpretation, as well as echoes of related notions which must be of a later date. The description of a keen eye in Eustathios’ Great Lent sermon (Εʹ) and the instruction in the Commentary regarding the rhetorical use of the Cyclops allegoresis are comparable in many ways. The Christian reception of ancient concepts pertinent to the inner Cyclops bears on the way the image engaged Eustathios and his readers.
