Le silence d’Ajax II

  • Publication type: Article from a collective work
  • Collective work:
    Silence et sagesse
    . De la musique à la métaphysique : les anciens Grecs et leur héritage
  • Author: Saint Girons (Baldine)
  • Abstract: Following the previous contribution, three further questions are considered here : that of Ajax as the universal imagination incarnating greatness of spirit with more or less success ; that of Longin’s use of a purely pictorial kairos when privileging Ajax’s silence in Hell ; and, finally, that of aristocratic and warrior silence as the possible source and effect of greatness of spirit.
