La "Fábula de Apolo y Dafne" de Juan de Tassis, conde de Villamedianaun mito ovidiano bajo el signo de Góngora

Resumo

After the weariness about the classic mythology, so exhausted by the Renaissance authors, the poets will no longer be inspired by it. That will be until the appearance of a new genre in the Golden Age: the fábula mitológica or epilio. Don Luis de Gongora and his work Fábula de Polifemo y Galatea will bring a revolution to the poetry of his time and will achieve a new interest in mythology in the following poets, which will be inspired by this work and will try to match it and, even, overcome it. Juan de Tassis, Count of Villamediana and friend of Gongora’s will write four fábulas mitológicas —among the critics stands up Faetón— where we are able to see the support in other big poets but in which what really stands out is the author’s cultista style and the big influence of the gongorismo. Continuing the Juan Manuel Rozas studies, this work has been focused on the work entitled Fábula de Apolo y Dafne, a Count of Villamediana’s almost forgotten epilio.
