The article deals with the role of the Muses in archaic poetry, namely in the works of Homer and Hesiod. It points out the uniqueness of the presence of the Muses in poetic context, which marks off Greek poetry in comparison with other poetic traditions. The first part of the analysis focuses on Homeric conception of the Muse, especially on her connection with 'memory'. The core of the argument lies in the analysis of memory, based on textual evidence, which shows that the memory of the Muses doesn't work simply as 'remembering the past' - the invocation of the Muse in Homeric poems suggests another interpretation, namely that the function of the Muse is to make the portrayed events present. The proposed interpretation steps over the concept of memory as a reservoir of the past. The second part of the analysis turns to Hesiod and to the prooemium of his Theogony. Hesiod's report about the Muses is rich and it draws our attention to a number of ambivalent features, which characterize the performance of the Muses. These features express themselves in the polarity mnemosyne - lesmosyne and pseudea - alethea. Both poles of these pairs act in the performance of the Muses - understanding of the function of memory, which is not a storage place of the past, helps to understand that 'remembering' in this context does not eliminate 'forgetting', and that both of these poles are complementary. Taken together, the pairs of opposites mnemosyne - lesmosyne and pseudea - alethea demonstrate one aspect of divinity, foreshadowed in the poems of Homer and Hesiod, i.e. the aspect of ambiguity, which is specifically articulated in the case of Hesiodic Muses.

She is investigating Wyspianski's relation to Homer's epos Ulysses. She is in detail dealing with acting of Wyspianski's Ulysses, examining him from the perspective of maleficence of his deeds, dealing with incentives of his guilt, patricide, but also with a unique Wyspianski's presentation of God.

Saint Gregory Palamas belonged among the greatest fathers of Eastern Church of the 14th century. His intellectual and spiritual potential was cultivated already when he was a student, as he received elaborate education in Constantinople. The intense use of philosophers, among whom Aristotle and Plato were mostly used, and of classical writers, mostly Homer, Sophocles etc., in the writings of Palamas comes as no surprise. In this study, we present an outline of Saint Gregory’s classical education with indicative examples drawn from his writings. Through these examples we aim to analyse Palama’s method of development and promotion of the national literature ideals to the extent that it led to the definition of true faith, to the knowledge of God and human salvation.

The I. 5. 56 - 58 is one of the few highly controversial cruxes in Pindar, though it may be an interpretative and not a textual one. The kernel of the ambiguity is in the expression 'oupis elpidon'. After examining the various interpretations the paper analyses the concept underlying the rare and quaint word 'oupis' from Homer on, which turns out to be a strong visual metaphor in Pindar as well. The author's reading of the passage: 'nec labor ingens occaecatus est, nec tot sumptus, qui aciem spei excitaverunt' is examined within the context of the poem, and the relevance of the keen visual metaphor prevalent in Pindar's whole poetry, is elucidated.

This paper attempts to solve a difficult textual problem in Pindar's poetry. Albeit the manuscripts are utterly unanimous, editors tend to correct the passage. The author, on the other hand, argues in favour of preserving the manuscript tradition. His interpretation of the line: 'immo nuper delectat Neptunum ad gentem Pelei cognatam etiam nunc transgressum materterus tuus, Pythea' might present a contribution to the understanding of the Fifth Nemean and Pindaric poetry as well. This new perspective could also suggest that some of the problems in Pindar's epinician poetry are not textual, but hermeneutical ones.

The text will observe the adaptation an exemplary work like the Illiad of Homer in the period of the Bulgarian Revival. The scientific reflection on the familiar trend of „artistic-creation“ of „redrawing“ of the source text to the expectations of the perceived literature is very significant. Not surprisingly the reception of Homer creates a constructive field for the critical thinking in the cultural situation in the Bulgarian national Revival. The new type of readership is build up from the self-knowledge of the new type of literary criticism.

Critical reflections on Homer´s work have been an integral part of Greek philosophy from its very beginning. In ancient Roman philosophy Homer excited the interest of Marcus Tullius Cicero. The aim of the article is to outline Cicero’s reflections on Homer as well as to explore one of the most original Cicero’s interpretations of Homer focusing on the mythological story of Philoctetes, the king of Thessaly. It is shown, how the Roman philosopher used the figure of Philoctetes as an original interpretative means to illustrate not only various ethical theories (such as the Stoic conception of virtue or Epicurean conception of pain), but also physical theories (such as Sceptic theory of necessary causes) as well as logical theories and principles (e.g. rejecting the bivalence principle).

The article presents selected aspects of Xenophanes’ philosophy (especially B 34 and B 18 Diels-Kranz) in the light of Homer’s thought. First of all, scepticism should be distinguished from negative dogmatism. Therefor the author will use the term “scepticism” (from Greek skeptomai – explore, examine, consider, think) in accordance with Sextus Empiricus’ typology. In his Outlines of Pyrrhonism (I, 1-2) he distinguishes three forms of philosophy: (1) dogmatic (dogmatike), characteristic of those, who claim to have found the truth; (2) academic (akademaike), defined as negative dogmatism denying the possibility of finding the truth; (3) sceptic (skeptike), which involve a persistent search for truth. The main aim of the paper is to compare Homer’s attitudes with those of Xenophanes as far as the distinction between scepticism and negative dogmatism is concerned.

The paper deals with Antisthenes' accounts of Homer as well as with the role the philosopher played in the thought on the turn of the 5th and 6th centuries BC. In its first part the author gives an outline of Antisthenes' life and work. The second part shows the development of the critical approaches to Homer's depicting Gods from Hecait to the sophists. The third part deals with Antisthenes' accounts of Homer in Aiax and Odysseus, pointing to the Socratic character of questioning the virtue. Drawing on further reports about the interpretations of Homer the author shows the place occupied by Antisthenes within the tradition of the allegoric accounts of myths (part 4). The interpretations of particular fragments provide a basis for the author's argumentation, according to which Antisthenes' early writings deal with the sophistic themes in an innovative, i.e. Socratic way, which later had been adopted and developed by the cynics and stoics of the Helenistic period. The paper shows Antisthenes' approach to interpreting Homer as different from that of Plato, although both of them declared their adherence to the Socratic tradition.

The paper questions the modern approach to ancient philosophy as a linear movement from mythos to logos. It analyses the circumstances of „the beginning“ of ancient philosophical thinking. It tempts to see the whole movement of the pre-Socratic philosophy as a literary undercurrent of the Homeric schools, the Homeridae. The allegorical interpretation of the Homeric poems is crucial for this type of argumentation. This interpretation goes back to their very origins. The emphasis is put on the resemblances between the cyclic eposes Ilias and Odyssey and early pre-Socratic philosophies, namely those of Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Pythagoras and the Milesian School. It is argued, that in physical and ethical conceptions of these philosophers, many traces of Homeric world-view can be unveiled. Therefore, it seems viable to suppose that some allegoric interpretations of Homer´s poems pre-existed as a theoretical background behind these philosophical theories.

The paper examines different manners of individual coping with conditions given by the social. The author argues that only individual response of the sage — as a genius — should be considered as coping with given conditions. Baggage of metaphysical symbolisations of the social is a ballast for thinking. However, only the genius can do it, all others can only know it from the genius. The paper examines genius using the myth of Homer’s death and Plato’s apology of Socrates.

The article discusses ethical aspects and thoroughness of scientific research on the example of German excavations in Troy, conducted in 1988 by a team from Tübingen University. The author demonstrates how archaeologists became entangled in various relationships with polictical and economic circles, which subsequently yielded an interpretation of findings which ensured financial and media support. The text is an emphatic call for independence and objectivity of scientific investigations that should remain free of any pressure. Although the paper relies on an example from the milieu of archaeologists. historians and classical philologists, the appeal of the authors is a universal one.
