Abstract

This article deals with the problem of the ontology of Jesus Christ that emerges from the pages of the poetic works of the fourth and fifth century that are known as Homerocentos. It consists of three parts. The first presents the Homeric concept of the incarnation, which shows the understanding of the incarnation of the deity present in the Iliad and the Odyssey. In the second, a brief approximation of the incarnation tendency present in the Bible. The final part focuses on an attempt to harmonize the biblical and Homeric conception of the incarnation, and thus to reveal the ontology of Jesus Christ in the Homerocentos.
