Source fondamentale pour l’etude de la divination antique, les Oracles de la Pythieconstituent un veritable ” testament delphique ” qui permet a Plutarque de poser les fondements de ses equations philosophiques conduisant a une reflexion sur le divin. Comment l’homme peut atteindre par la raison la pensee divine ? Comment se fait le passage d’une realite spirituelle a une expression verbale concrete (l’oracle) ? Qui permet ce passage du spirituel au materiel ? Qui prononce les vers oraculaires ? La Pythie ? La Sibylle ? Quel role a le savoir dans le contact, a Delphes, avec le divin ? A la charniere de deux epoques, entre polytheisme et monotheisme, les Oracles de la Pythie nous permettent de comprendre le mecanisme grec de la mantique inspiree, mais aussi la question de la possession, le role du mediateur humain dans la transmission du message divin.
