Abstract
Abstract:The figure of Polyphemus’ mother in Theocritus, Idyll 11 calls to mind the wooing of another reluctant sea-nymph, Thetis, by Peleus. While in that story ἔρις is cast down from heaven to earth, in Polyphemus’ affair with Galatea he sublimates the ἔρως he cannot consummate from procreation into creating art. Echoes of Pindar and Empedocles help to connect these two stories.Résumé:La figure de la mère de Polyphème chez Théocrite (Idyll. 11) rappelle la courtisanerie par Pélée d’une autre nymphe marine, Thétis. Tandis que dans cette histoire ἔρις est précipitée sur terre, Polyphème sublime par les arts l’ἔρως qu’il ne peut vivre avec Galatée. Des échos de Pindare et d’Empédocle aident à relier ces deux histoires.
