O reino de Benim está ligado à Ifé por seu fundador e lendário Oranyan, filho de Oduduwa que, posteriormente, seria o rei de Oyó. A tradição fala também de uma primeira dinastia em que doze reis foram soberanos no século XII. Na primeira metade do século XIII, é Eweka que institui o colégio eleitoral de sete membros e Ewedo seu sucessor, que consolida o reino de Benim através da herança da coroa de Oranyan, ou seja, da dinastia dos reis estrangeiros, como garante o tamborete do ogiso. Este simbolizava toda a autoridade confiada ao guardião da ancestralidade e dos cultos tradicionais que davam sustentabilidade ao dignatário real, na condução do poder. Poder esse de um matiz segmentário tecido e costurado pela religiosidade. A constituição desse espaço imaginário garante a perpetuação do passado nas concepções do presente e inaugura o futuro, estabelecendo o poder e a resistência de um povo, o qual tem a esfera do sagrado como norteador e organizador da esfera do temporal e resguarda aos reis iniciados a manutenção de suas hierarquias e tradições.UFRGS2009-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/1893310.22456/1983-201X.18933Anos 90; Vol. 16 No. 30 (2009): Dossiê Antiguidade no Brasil Contemporâneo; 251-271Anos 90; v. 16 n. 30 (2009): Dossiê Antiguidade no Brasil Contemporâneo; 251-2711983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/18933/11022Lima, Sheila Conceição SilvaFonseca, Solange Passyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-08-27T16:49:08Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/18933Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2019-08-27T16:49:08Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
