Résumé anglais Ulysses among the philologists A truly critical philology should take into consideration the conditions in which different texts are realized and also the history of their interpretations. During the nineteenth century classical philology became science while at the same time it disassociated given texts from accepted theory when ever convenient This divorce in many ways accounts for the infirmity of classical philology Further more this divorce can largely be explained by the ambiguous posture of classical philology torn between its pretention of being historical science and its educational use by the very authors who founded it. Beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century the "analysis" of Homeric poetry produced tremendous quantity of works and hypotheses not necessarily based on the verbal material from which they were inspired. Planctes is an example of this process Critical works done in french universities are compared with german works in order to reveal the almost unsurmountable difficulties of adaptation necessary in different tradition and educational system The weight of past developments is great in deed as is shown by the example of "Oral Poetry" which replaced systematic analysis as theory of literary production and adapted itself to this function.
