- Title
Las estéticas del mito en la literatura argentina del siglo xix: Vicente López y Planes y Olegario V. Andrade.
- Authors
BARRIOS CASTRO, María José
- Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the use of Greco-Roman myths in 19th Century Argentina by focusing on two outstanding authors for their way of approaching them from different perspectives and aesthetics. The former, Vicente López y Planes, in his work El triunfo argentino appeals to myth by following the classicist aesthetic characterized by the use of mythology as a convention. The latter, Olegario V. Andrade, immersed in Romanticism in his work Prometeo chooses this mythological character for being a transgressive hero. Besides, we must take into account the particular Spanish-American reality in which people fight for Independence from Spain, since they take France as a model, without realizing that while accepting its influence, they receive at the same time a new colonizing power.
