Title: The boar hunt and the death of Atys (Herodotus I, 34-45): Lydian traditions and Graeca interpretation The chapters of Herodotus' Histories dealing with the death of Atys, son of Croesus and heir to the throne of Lydia, stand out in the narrative architecture of the first book not only for the singular length of the account, but also for the tragic tones and the dense network of references to the religious sphere; these aspects have been well studied in the literature. However, not enough attention has been paid to the way in which Atys is killed, during a boar hunt, which is the key element and climax of the drama. The origin, purpose and complexity of Herodotus' narrative – which is not a simple novella, but an interweaving of (Lydian) history, myth and ritual – can be better understood if we also acknowledge the influence of the Homeric epic and the symbolic and initiatory charge that the practice of boar hunting had in the Greek literary tradition. Keywords: Herodotus, boar-hunting, Lydia, Croesus, Atys, hunting rituals, Homer.
