Abstract

This article hopes to demonstrate that the topoi of sorrow and joy support the narrative structure of Homily VIII of Germanos of Constantinople. Along with the alternation of speeches that are interspersed with the main story, an alternation in the reactions they raise can also be identified. The organization of these speeches will be reviewed in relation to the main thread, and the response produced by each of them will be analyzed. The purpose is to confirm that the alternation of feelings that the various voices generate constitutes strengthening of a truth of the Christian faith and a hopeful adherence to it in those to whom is adressed.
