Greece has handed down to us the logos, this elusive term describes the use of language in discussion and dialogue, in separating and analyzing conceptual dominions, of discussing and persuading. The logos is the intellectual tool of “scientific” discourse, philosophical inquiry and public debate. But besides this dialogic logos we find another category of words, absolute and powerful utterances, heavy with being and truth. Together with oaths and blessings, curses are a pivotal example of this type of utterances. In our days, the words and the notion “curse” and “cursing” are circled by an aura of the “primitive”. They may recall black magic practices, old stories and dark expressions of religiosity or superstition. But as far as the Western world is concerned, curses today find their place almost exclusively in the private sphere, being, when uttered, an expression of frustration and verbal aggression; in ancient Greece, on the other hand, curses were very powerful utterances, whose role extended to the public as well as the private sphere.
