Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Le mythe gemellaire, tres courant en milieu indo-europeen, est aussi tres repandu dans le folklore universel. Il a ses codes, ses attributs, ses emblemes, qui sont autant de topiques modulables en fonction des besoins locaux. Les Paliques, de tres anciennes divinites honorees en Sicile, en sont une parfaite illustration. Pourtant, si ces dieux disposent bien d’une serie de traits gemellaires (leur pere est une divinite celeste, ils sont secourables et portent une appellation duelle,…), les textes ne disent jamais que ce sont des jumeaux. On tente ici de resoudre cette question, et bien d’autres encore, a partir d’une etude serree des strates de la tradition. Un de ses principaux resultats est d’enrichir l’eventail des modeles gemellaires d’un format intuitif, qui definit des jumeaux dont le statut se reduit, a defaut d’etre dit. L’appliquer aux Paliques permet d’y voir non plus des dieux jumeaux de souche indo-europeenne (comme on a trop souvent tendance a croire), mais locale, comme tendraient a le prouver l’indechiffrable etymologie de leur nom, l’attachement que leur a toujours temoigne le peuple sicilien et le souffle de liberte attache a leur sanctuaire.
