AB With the intent of analyzing the divine epiphany in Homer, in many instances onemay note how the distinction between the narrative and the metaphorical dimensionis unclear: for example, when the deity appears to the human being  and  is  likenedto  a  bird, describing its attitudes, the  boundary  between  a  real  metamorphosisand  a similitude to animal behaviour seems to vanish.This element of uncertainty with regards to the deity’s description generated a  strongdebate  in  the  second  half  of  twentieth  century. On one hand, the possibility of anintention to represent the gods’ metamorphosis was excluded, on the other hand, the“numinous”  dimension  of  the  poems  was  defended  by  underscoring  the  relationbetween metamorphosis’ descriptions  and Homeric characters’ reactions.The  aim  is  to  compare  the  role  of  birds  in  Homeric  divine  epiphanies  with  thepresence of the same animals in the Aegean Bronze Age iconography and texts, tounderstand whether the same relation can be established between birds and deities inpre-Homeric  cult  contexts.
