Abstract

This paper presents a study of the relation betwe en hero and crowd in the Iliad . The merge of the concept of identity with the theatric metaphor suggested by Goffman to the study of social interac tion is the leading point of view. The focus of analysis was given to the characters speeches regarding the expected role of the heroes, as well as the scenes that gives emphasis to the actor/audience relation. Finally, a discussion of the material repercussions of the identitary disputes in the interior of the society pictured by the poem is presented.
