In this article I discuss the meaning of the image of the spinning of events by divine agents in Homer.

In the first part I sketch the linguistic and semantic relations of the words that refer to it, and weigh a possible explanation by its association with birth. The main interpretation I propose picks up the one suggested by Onians: spinning should be conceived together with the activities of tying, knotting or fettering, being a part of the more general concept of binding. However, another interpretation is also attractive: the symbolic force of spinning resides in the act of giving shape to the shapeless.  Este artículo discute el significado de la imagen del hilado de eventos por agentes divinos en Homero. En la primera parte esboza las relaciones lingüísticas y semánticas de los términos que lo designan y evalúa una posible explicación a partir de su asociación con el nacimiento. En la segunda propone una interpretación principal que retoma una sugerida por Onians en su polémica obra: el hilado debe concebirse junto a otras operaciones como atar, anudar o encadenar, siendo una instancia del concepto más general de ligar. Aunque permanece atractiva otra interpretación: que la fuerza simbólica de hilar está en el acto de dar forma a lo informe.  Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2017-11-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/3960 10.34096/afc.v2i28.3960 Anales de Filología Clásica; Vol. 2 Núm. 28 (2015); 99-110 2362-4841 0325-1721 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/3960/3533
