Resumo
The present study starts from the representation of the
poetry that precedes the Homeric poems as an attempt to locate the origen of
lyric poetry. The sources are fragments of Homeric poems and some
historiographical records from History of Literature, which also rely on data
provided by Archaeology and Anthropology. Conforming to these sources, this “original poetry” is linked to the ritual, the magical and the religious spheres.
According to Hauser, there would be professionals of magic word, whose
origin is the prehistoric magus-artist. In the Homeric text, the divine aoidos
enigmatically emerges surrounded by dancers. In the Iliad, Achilles’ shield,
forged by Hephaestus, is described over 136 verses in which there are excerpts
with dances being conducted by songs not performed by expert aoidos, such
as Phemius and Demodocus. Dance is also connected to poetry in the arts
group that dispenses tékhne presented by Plato in the Ion. As stated in Vernant,
the forms of expression that lead to Greek religion unite the myth (key event
for the establishment of literature, according to Lesky), the rite (linked to the
dance), and the figurative representation. Finally, the evidence points out to
the existence of another poetry, other than the Homeric epic, and of
conceptions of poet that diverge from that of the expert aoidos.
