Hommes et dieux dans le formulaire métrique indo-iranien ancien

No Indo-iranian formula was coordinating gods with demons, but another one, welle attested, was linking mortal men with gods. Initially, it was saying the solidarity between both groups, who were meeting on the sacrificial ground. Its use in Rigvedic and Avestan texts shows divergent evolutions. In India, men and gods go away from each other. In Iran, the original coordination, whose negative meaning is appearing, is inserted ina an always wider demonic list, which is included in a sentence using another inherited formula, whose theme was the crossing of enmities. During the evolution process of this formula, men go with the ancient *daiva- to demonisation.
