Vínculos intertextuales entre los personajes de Pompeyo en Farsalia y de Héctor en Iliada: macroestructuras textuales y configuración de los perfiles heroicos
Main Article Content
Abstract
The characters of Caesar and Pompey in Pharsalia show certain inconsistencies that critical literature has attempted to explain by means of different strategies for building of meaning. A distinctive one among these is the intertextual reading between Pharsalia and The Iliad, concerning mainly the heroic code (Anderson, 1957; Hardie, 1993; Green, 1991).
This reading stems from von Albrecht (1970), who stablishes a parallelism between Caesar and Achilles, and between Pompey and Agamemnon. Our paper departs from von Albrecht as far as the second one is concerned, in order to set a new comparison between Pompey’s fictional representation and Hector’s character. Our objective is to rethink the intertextual reading of Pharsalia, and thereby shed light on Lucan’s interpretation of the Civil Wars.
