Abstract

Homère nous présente dans l'Odyssée son activite poétique à travers deux aèdes, Phémios et Démodokos, et un conteur hors pair, Ulysse. II s'en degage une conception de la poésie qui apparait comme un melange de vérites et de faussetés. Une telle définition nous conduit, par une réflexion sur les notions de vraisemblable et de monde simulé, a penser la poesie d'Homere comme un recit fictionnel. Homer in his Odyssey presents his poetic activity through two aeds, i. e. Phemios and Demodokos, and through an exceptional master of tale-telling, i. e. Ulysses. Hence a new conception of poetry as a mixture of thruths and falsities. Such a definition leads us, through a reflexion on the concepts of verisimilitude and simulated world, to think Homer's poetry as a fictional narrative
