This paper aims to consider, through the historical-comparative methodology of the history of religions, integrated with some instruments and suggestions issued from a discursive analysis of the texts, the relation between poetry and silence in Gregory of Nazianzus. We investigate how, according to this author, the silence sets off the beauty of the verses as reflection of the divine Beautiful. In particular, we analyze the interpretation Gregory proposes of some famous passages of Odyssey, reading Odysseus as symbol of the poetic word.

Abstract
This paper aims to consider, through the historical-comparative methodology of the history of religions, integrated with some instruments and suggestions issued from a discursive analysis of the texts, the relation between poetry and silence in Gregory of Nazianzus. We investigate how, according to this author, the silence sets off the beauty of the verses as reflection of the divine Beautiful. In particular, we analyze the interpretation Gregory proposes of some famous passages of Odyssey, reading Odysseus as symbol of the poetic word.
