Образ циклопа анализируется в социальном, политическом и экономическом контекстах. В первой части показана ключевая роль, которую история с Полифемом играет в гомеровском повествовании и которая отражает сложность социальной и этической структуры эпоса. Во второй части описываются собственно эпизод с Полифемом, некоторые его особенности и то место, которое он, по всей видимости, занимает в рассказе Одиссея о его путешествиях. В третьей части предложено новое прочтение этой истории. В четвертой части автор анализирует образ другого гомеровскго пастуха, раба Евмея, с точки зрения его статуса и места внутри политической и этической структуры повествования. В пятой части пересматривается роль Полифема и острова циклопов в контексте гомеровского общества вообще и истории Одиссея в целом.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The specific topic of this paper is the tale of the Cyclops Polyphemus in Odyssey 9 and its connections to the story of the Odyssey as a whole, including the hero’s account of his travels in his Apology and Homer’s presentation of Odysseus’ return to his home on Ithaca in the second half of the poem. I also attempt to situate Polyphemus in a larger social, political and above all else economic framework, arguing that he is a less exceptional figure than Odysseus makes him out to be, and that thinking of him as a generic epic herdsman offers insights into his treatment at the hands of Odysseus and the poet, into the Cyclops society of which he is a part, and into the overall moral structure of the epic. As I note in Section 1, the Polyphemus incident plays a key role in Homer’s story. My larger and more controversial thesis is that this is due at least in part to the story’s moral and social complexity, which makes it a powerful tool to unlock other, more problematic issues both in the Odyssey and outside of it. Section 2 offers an initial consideration of the Polyphemus episode, its seeming intentions within the Apology and some of its peculiarities. Section 3 embarks on a second reading of the tale, designed to challenge the first by declining to take it at face value. Section 4 considers another Homeric herdsman, Odysseus’ slave Eumaeus, and his place on Ithaca and within the political, moral and narrative economy of the poem. Section 5 uses that perspective to look back at Polyphemus and Cyclops Island, and to reassess their connections to Homeric society generally and the story of the Odyssey as a whole.</p></trans-abstract></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title></ref-list><fn-group><fn fn-type="conflict"><p>The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest present.</p></fn></fn-group></back></article>
