The Argo’s Long Shadow over Lake Tritonis and Lemnos: Two Dormant Oracles in Herodotus
Palavras-chave:
Argonautas;, oráculos dormentes;, Heródoto;, Lemnos;, Líbia;, Milcíades;
Resumo
Dois oráculos dormentes nas Histórias de Heródoto, 4.179 e 6.139-140, permitem estabelecer uma interrelação entre a colonização grega da Líbia e a conquista ateniense de Lemnos com base no mito argonáutico. Este artigo conduz uma aprofundada análise comparativa de ambas as passagens, considerando os seguintes aspetos: cenário mítico, estrutura oracular condicionada, utilização de truques por personagens, flashback como técnica narrativa e o papel do vento. Os resultados mostram que o mito apresenta uma vocação pan-helénica no primeiro oráculo e uma vocação local no segundo.
