| Abstract | El trabajo revalua la funcion del enigmatico ἵστωρ en dos controvertidos pasajes de Iliada (XVIII 490-508; XXIII 448-508). La tradicion filologica ha vinculado al ἵστωρ iliadico -y, por extension, su cognado ἱστορία- a un modo de conocimiento derivado del acto inaugural de “ver”. Frente a las interpretaciones mas extendidas, procuraremos demostrar que el ἵστωρ desempena funciones de arbitraje o mediacion en un conflicto de intereses, especificamente, a partir de su capacidad de dar fe de los “dichos” de ambas partes en litigio. Es, pues, su facultad de “escucha” (ἀκοή) –y no la observacion directa- el atributo fundamental de su rol. Abstract The paper reassesses the role of the inscrutable ἵστωρ in two much-discussed passages in Homer’s Iliad (XVIII 490-508; XXIII 448-508). Classical scholarship has associated the Iliadic ἵστωρ (and its cognate ἱστορία) to the form of knowledge derived from the preliminary act of “seeing”. Contrary to the mainstream interpretations, we claim that the ἵστωρ acts as a mediator or arbiter in a conflict of interests primarily in view of his capacity to bear witness to the “words” uttered by either party. Hence, it is his faculty of “hearing” (ἀκοή) - and not direct observation- which is paramount to his role. ἵστωρ / Iliad / ὄψις /ἀκοή / historical knowledge |
