Δίνη et στροφάλιγξ. La « théomachie » d’Empédocle et son modèle poétique homérique dans le chant XXI de l’Iliade

Gabriela Cursaru

Abstrak

Empedocles’ cyclical mixtures and separations of the elements due to the perpetual cosmic interchange between Νεῖκος and Φιλία (and between δίνη and στροφάλιγξ, in their respective discriminating / mixing functions) highlight the double role played by the vortex as an agent of both dissolution of the similars and mixture of the dissimilars. This article argues that Empedocles’ use of δίνη and στροφάλιγξ is to be compared to their Homeric occurrences in the climactic scenes of the Battle of the Gods in Iliad 21 and that the dialectic confrontation of Empedocles’ two cosmic principles and whirls has the Theomachy of Iliad 21 as poetic model.
