I15-R231-article-1702022-12-21T15:27:19Z Éros as an ambivalent power in ancient Greek culture Éros como potencia ambivalente en la cultura griega antigua Modenutti, Delia Carolina éros power mediating force eros potencia fuerza mediadora The aim of this article is to approach the Greek conception of éros, mainly in the field of mythology and literature, in order to provide elements to understand its semantic configuration in ancient culture as force, energy or intense and indeterminate power. We will try to show that the term éros reveals a homonymy that, using Aristotelian terminology, we can call "pròs hén" (Metaphysics IV,2), that is, that its multiple uses and senses that this journey will allow us to discover -as primordial power, divinity, love, desire, desire for someone, desire for things-, converge in an underlying sense: éros is a power of ambivalent character that can propitiate generation or destruction, pleasure and pain, harmony or imbalance. El objetivo de este artículo es realizar un acercamiento a la concepción griega de éros, fundamentalmente en el ámbito de la mitología y de literatura, que aporte elementos para comprender su configuración semántica en la cultura antigua como fuerza, energía o potencia intensa a la vez que indeterminada. Intentaremos demostrar que el término éros revela una homonimia que, valiéndonos de la terminología aristotélica, podemos llamar “pròs hén” (Metafísica IV,2), es decir, que sus múltiples usos y sentidos que este recorrido nos permitirá descubrir -como potencia primordial, divinidad, amor, deseo, deseo por alguien, deseo de cosas-, convergen en un sentido subyacente: éros es una potencia de carácter ambivalente que puede propiciar la generación o la destrucción, el placer y el dolor, la armonía o el desequilibrio.
