Abstract

This article seeks to analyse Hölderlin’s concept of Homeland Return, both on his fragments about greek tragedy and on his poems. The author sustains that the Greeks have a natural drive for chaos and absence of form, while in modern culture the opposite is true. That is the reason why each try to assume its contrary. In many of Hölderlin’s poems we can also find the urge to retum to a lost Homeland, even facing the «absence of God».
