Abstract
With the study of the first two poetic naval battle tales that have come down to us, we see the essential ambiguity of the marine space as a hero’s factory. If in the Persians, Aeschylus develops from Iliadic material a collective heroism corresponding to the values of the Greek city, the summoning of Odyssian elements alters the image of the fighters. In the Aeneid, we find motifs created by Aeschylus and Homer, which help to make war at sea sacrilegious, so that the winner of the battle, Augustus, is elided in favor of a pathetic vision of the vanquished.
