“…For more recent discussion of Homer in the wake of Parry's groundbreaking work, seeNagy 1996 and McAuslan and Walcot 1998. 6 This point is inspired, of course, by Derrida's observations about the extent to which the notion of speech is parasitic on the idea of writing or inscription.…”

In Historied Thought, Constructed World, Joseph Margolis identifies the philosophical themes that will dominate philosophical discussions in the twentyfirst century, given the recognition of the historicity of philosophical thought in the twentieth century. In what follows I examine these themes, especially cognitive intransparency, and the arguments presented in favor of them, noting the extent to which they rest on a view of language that takes a written text, and not speech, as the paradigm of language. I suggest if one takes speech as a mutual embodied action in a shared space as a model for language, the theme of cognitive intransparencyFand the problems it brings in its wakeFdoes not loom so large for those of us working in the history of philosophy. I conclude by showing that if we adopt this suggestion in relation to early Greek philosophy, that is, the period in the history of historied thought in which philosophy itself emerges as a linguistic and intellectual activity, we can better understand how and why philosophy emerged as it didFin the form of dialogues by Plato.

O Herói Épico Autor(es):Nagy, Gregory; Neto, Félix Jácome (trad.) Gregory NagyAutores Gregos e Latinos -Série Ensaios Palavras-chave épica, herói, Homero, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Arjuna, Eneias AbstractThe words "epic" and "hero" both defy generalization, let alone universalizing definitions. Even as general concepts, "epic" and "hero" do not necessarily go together. While recognizing these difficulties, this presentation explores the most representative examples of ancient poetic constructs generally known as "epic heroes," focusing on Achilles and Odysseus in the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey. Points of comparison include Gilgamesh and Enkidu in the Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hittite cuneiform records; Arjuna and the other Pāṇḍava-s in the Indic Mahābhārata; and Aeneas in the Aeneid of the Roman poet Virgil.
