Retour sur l’hymne homérique comme proème : la pragmatique de l’hymne 6 à Aphrodite

For the necessary anthropological return to ‘native’ categories, Thucydides (3.104) helps us for our modern understanding of the Homeric hymns. These poems in epic diction are prooimia to musical competitions. They are composed for a ritual recitation on the occasion of different cultic festivals in different cities. With the example of the second Homeric hymn consecrated to Aphrodite in our modern corpus, the study tends to show the different enunciative procedures aiming at such a ritual function, such a pragmatics through an astonishing portrait of the goddess of erotic desire. The procedure opens the possibility of re-performances of the hymnic poems in other ritual circumstances, in other cultic spaces.
