La sagesse de Palamède : les dés, les pions et l'établissement d'un ordre (à propos de Philostrate, Sur les héros, 10 Follet)

Abstract

« Trictrac », « jeu de dames », « échecs », autant de traductions trompeuses données au fil du temps pour le mot grec πεσσεία qui était en réalité une forme d'activité ludique pratiquée avec des pions sur un plateau et dont les origines remontent à la Guerre de Troie selon des récits traditionnels de la Grèce antique. Loin de se borner à une question de lexique et de choix de traduction, cet article vise à comprendre les spécificités d'une telle forme de jeu à partir de l'analyse des circonstances de son invention et de l'identité de son auteur, à savoir le héros Palamède. Par une analyse détaillée des passages concernant Palamède et son invention des jeux, de Gorgias à Philostrate, cette contribution entend permettre de mieux comprendre à quel point la πεσσεία était liée à une modalité très particulière de l'action divine de Palamède, à savoir son pouvoir prophétique et mantique qui en faisait un héros de la structuration sémiotique de l'espace. "Trictrac", "checkers", "chess", so many misleading translations given over time for the Greek word πεσσεία which was actually a form of playful activity practiced with pawns on a board and whose origins extend back to the Trojan War according to traditional stories of ancient Greece. Far from being limited to a question of lexicon and choice of translation, this article aims to understand the specificities of such a form of game from the analysis of the circumstances of its invention and the identity of its author, namely the hero Palamedes. By a detailed analysis of the passages concerning Palamedes and his invention of games, from Gorgias to Philostratus, this contribution is intended to allow a better understanding of how far the πεσσεία was linked to a very particular modality of the divine action of Palamedes, namely his prophetic and mantic power that made him a hero of the semiotic structuring of space.
