description |
After a brief presentation about the notion of formula, this paper argues that Aphrodite, mainly when presented under the formula χρυσέην Ἀφροδίτην, is essential for the understanding of the dynamics of the race of the heroes and Zeus’s decision to put an end to it in Greek early hexameter poetry. Associated with the preposition διά, this theonimic formula is used in contexts where beings that threaten the order and power of Zeus are born, the race of heroes included. |
