| Summary, etc. | The present contribution proposes to revisit an episode from Philostratus’s Life of Appollonius of Tyana, the plague in Ephesus, and the interpretation suggested by René Girard in his book I See Satan Fall Like Lightning. Indeed, R. Girard’s analysis is typical of the way Philostratus’s narrative has long been approached: as a quest for the historical Apollonius and a reading of the sage from Tyana from the perspective of Christianity and the New Testament. These two approaches, though fruitful in discoveries, had the major drawback of remaining in the periphery of the work and, in R. Girard’s case, running contrary to the core significance of the text. The purpose of this paper is thus to provide a new analysis of the episode, taking into account the construction of the narrative and the figure of the wise man. The Ephesus plague episode is revealed to be a genuine reflection on Greek tragedy and its evolution in the imperial period. Far from being a rival of Christ, as he has too often been reductively seen, Apollonius might be, above all, a figure allowing for an investigation on Hellenism and Greek culture at the time of the Roman emperors. |
