Abstract
In ancient Greece, the superhuman world is not only plural, but also complex and mobile. A walk through a small corpus of melic and hymnic texts, from Sappho's " Brothers Poem " to Palaikastro's hymn, served as a guiding thread to interrogate the polytheistic configurations at work in these poems : in particular, attention was paid to the way in which the poets articulate the powers mobilized (divinities " majeures ", divinities " mineures " or daimones, divinities " personnelles " and " personnifications divines "), to the information that such conjunctural articulations can offer as to their respective statuses and, finally, to the problematic nature of any overly rigid classification.
