Resumo: | Heliodorus is known for his elaborate narrative technique. This effect is due to ekphrasis, a resource widely used by sophists and recommended in textbooks of rhetoric (Progymnasmata). In the first block of the work, Heliodorus uses this resource, but not randomly. There is an image, literally or metaphorically repeating itself: the labyrinth. Our intention is to demonstrate that the repetitions have a commonality, in addition to a strong hermeneutical appeal. Moreover, the labyrinths are introduced in the part where the narrative is skillfully written in medias res. It is precisely in this passage that the reader, as in a labyrinth, is meanderingly led by several paths, until he reaches the understanding of the opening scene, at the mouth of the Nile. The analysis of the procedures used by Heliodorus leads to the conclusion that the succession of textual or imagethic labyrinths places the reader in a game, from which he can only emerge at the end of the fifth book. |

Cet effet est dû à l’ekphrasis, une ressource largement employée par les sophistes et recommandée dans les manuels de rhétorique (Progymnasmata). Dans le premier bloc de l’œuvre, Héliodore utilise cette ressource, mais pas au hasard. Il y a une image, littéral ou métaphoriquement se répète : le labyrinthe. Notre intention est de démontrer que les répétitions ont un point commun, en plus d’un fort attrait herméneutique. De plus, les labyrinthes sont introduits dans la partie où le récit est habilement écrit in medias res. C’ést précisément dans ce passage que le lecteur, comme dans un labyrinthe, est sinueusement conduit par plusieurs chemins, jusqu’à ce qu’il atteigne la compréhension de la scène d’ouverture, à l’embouchure du Nil. L’analyse des procédures utilisées par Héliodore permet de conclure que la succession de labyrinthes textuels ou imagethiques place le lecteur dans un jeu, dont il ne pourra sortir qu’à la fin du cinquième livre.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2023-11-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/5226710.14195/1984-249X_33_27Revista Archai; No. 33 (2023): No. 33 (2023): Archai 33 (2023); e03327Archai Journal; n. 33 (2023): No. 33 (2023): Archai 33 (2023); e033271984-249X2179-4960reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBfrahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/52267/39342Copyright (c) 2023 Geruza de Souza Graebinhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Souza Graebin, Geruza2024-01-15T20:57:37Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/52267Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2024-01-15T20:57:37Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false |
