Ilijada

[Bastiani]

Verzija Homerovog epa koja nam je danas poznata je datovana u vreme koje se poklapa sa naseljavanjem Grka današnje turske obale Egeja. Možda je cilj u to vreme bio i jačanje jedinstva Grka među sobom, na primer protiv lokalnih plemena ili izbegavanje ratova među kolonijama, pozivanjem na tobožnju zajedničku prošlost.

Управо се сматра да то јесте (политичка) идеја читавог спева, оличена у стиховима у којима се наводе речи Нестора из Пила, кључне за тумачење. Отприлике гласе "нека је проклет онај који међу домаћим људима жели рат", тако нешто.

Čitam Legende i mitove Stare Grčke od Kuna i naišao sam na jedan vrlo zanimljiv lik po imenu Palamed. Pre nego što otkrijem o čemu je reč zanima me da li je iko od vas čuo za njega?

Чуо, захваљујући управо тој Куновој књизи која је била моја Библија док сам одрастао.

Одисеј се тек оженио Пенелопом када су Грци дошли да га воде у Троју. Пошто му се није ишло, одглумио је лудило које је Паламед прозрео. То га је касније скупо коштало. Није паметно замерати се са осветољубивим лукавцима.

Greek mythology - Palamedes

Palamedes was the son of Nauplius and Clymene in Greek mythology. He was one of the participants of the Trojan War on the side of Greece.

After Helen had been kidnapped by Paris, the Oath of Tyndareus was invoked, according to which all previous suitors of Helen should defend the couple in any future setback. Odysseus had also taken the oath, but did not want to take part in the war, because an oracle had told him it would take him decades to return to his family. Agamemnon sent Palamedes in order to get Odysseus; when he arrived in Ithaca, Odysseus pretended to be insane by plowing salt in his fields. Palamedes realised that this was a trick, and put Odysseus' infant son Telemachus in front of the plow. Odysseus, unable to kill his son, revealed his trick and was forced to join the Greek army.

Odysseus always remembered that it was Palamedes who forced him to participate in the Trojan War. During the war, Palamedes told the Greeks to go back home, and Odysseus seized the opportunity to blame him. He set him up by hiding gold in Palamedes' tent, and left a letter that was supposedly written by King Priam of Troy. The Greeks found the letter and condemned him to death as a traitor; he was stoned to death by Odysseus and Diomedes. There are other accounts as to how he died; some say that the two men killed him during a fishing expedition, or by putting him in a well that supposedly had treasure and was then buried by stones.
