Contributing Authors

Par ses reves de grandeur demesuree, ses abus de pouvoir, ses crimes, sa cruaute ou encore sa folie, la figure du tyran antique a marque d’une profonde empreinte non seulement la realite historique, mais aussi les textes des auteurs greco-latins. Elle continue d’inspirer, au Moyen Age et a la Renaissance, de nombreuses oeuvres, qui s’ecartent parfois sensiblement des modeles reels et contribuent a forger un imaginaire encore pregnant dans nos representations contemporaines. C’est cet imaginaire, dans ses liens etroits ou plus laches avec la realite antique, que les onze contributions ici rassemblees (actes d’un colloque qui s’est tenu a l’universite d’Orleans les 26 et 27 octobre 2007) ont entrepris d’explorer, tel qu’il transparait dans les textes du Moyen Age et de la Renaissance, aussi bien litteraires qu’historiques ou philosophiques, en latin comme en francais.
