Resumo:  The transitional role played by the Phaeacians in The Odyssey has built into a kind of ‘communis opinio’ among Homeric scholars. Mixing divergent elements, these people seem to set a connection between Odysseus’ previous adventures and his re-entering in Ithaca. His quick 3-day stay in this unknown land gives him the opportunity to recall his sufferings since he left Troy, and manages to build a relationship between narrator and audience that helps us understand not only Odysseus’ character, but also the character of those who entertain him. I will focus on how Homer characterizes the Phaeacians as an ‘intermediate’ people, mixing opposite elements which are epitomized in their ability to sail.

Mixing divergent elements, these people seem to set a connection between Odysseus’ previous adventures and his re-entering in Ithaca. His quick 3-day stay in this unknown land gives him the opportunity to recall his sufferings since he left Troy, and manages to build a relationship between narrator and audience that helps us understand not only Odysseus’ character, but also the character of those who entertain him. I will focus on how Homer characterizes the Phaeacians as an ‘intermediate’ people, mixing opposite elements which are epitomized in their ability to sail. Uma das maiores unanimidades entre os estudiosos de Homero é a visão a respeito do papel ‘transicional’ desempenhado pelos feácios na Odisseia, povo que parece claramente estabelecer uma ‘ponte’ entre as aventuras pregressas, fantasiosas de Odisseu e seu reingresso na dura realidade de Ítaca. Sua rápida estadia de três dias nessa terra desconhecida oferece ao herói a oportunidade para que rememore as vicissitudes por que passou desde a partida de Troia, fazendo assim com que se estabeleça uma relação narrador-audiência que nos ajuda a entender não apenas as qualidades do protagonista do poema, mas também as desses extraordinários anfitriões que o acolhem. Vou me deter aqui no modo como Homero constrói a caracterização dos feácios como um povo ‘intermediário’, que mescla elementos opostos de modo a mostrar a possibilidade de conexão, concretamente representada pela perícia desses homens em navegar.  Universidade Estadual De Maringá2017-03-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/3203310.4025/actascilangcult.v39i1.32033Acta Scientiarum.
