La représentation d’Ulysse et de Polyphème dans la mosaïque romaine. Analyses et comparaisons
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In Homer’s Odyssey, whilst Ulysses is staying at the court of the Pheacians, he narrates his past adventures, in particular his encounter with the Cyclops, Polyphemus. The obvious physical imbalance between the two protagonists provides moral justification for recourse to guile, to metis, rather than engaging in a regular combat. In this paper, we have chosen to further exploit mosaics representing Ulysses inebriating Polyphemus for the sole purpose of revisiting the documentation by focusing on comparable works - sculptures, paintings and minor arts - in order to put forward a few hypotheses. We will take a look in turn at the role played by the sculptures of the Hellenistic period, the influence of Aristotle’s unity of action and unity of time, ending with the different depictions of Polyphemus’ organs of sight – at times « monocular » or « triocular » – in attempt to elicit their iconographical meaning.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
