Description
Abstract
Las afirmaciones de Plutarco sobre el origen de la guerra en la relación entre Aspasia y Pericles tienen un eco previo en la Comedia Antigua. Son de resaltar Dionysaléxandros de Cratino y Acarnienses de Aristófanes. Sendos autores coinciden en rastrear el origen de la guerra en el vínculo del político y la milesia y presentan un patrón común: un hecho en principio «privado» trae pólemos y destrucción a su comunidad, i.e. la esfera pública. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cómo opera el lazo entre ambos en los orígenes de la guerra y sus implicancias entre ambas obras. Los dos autores parecen concordar en rastrear el origen de la guerra en la unión y cada uno aludiría, a su manera, al conflicto de los aqueos con los troyanos. En este sentido es posible reconocer un interdiscurso común que, luego, retomará Plutarco.
Abstract: Plutarch’s statements on the relationship of Aspasia and Pericles as the origin of the war echo in Ancient Comedy. Two plays stand out: Cratinus’ Dionysalexandros and Aristophanes’ Acharnians. Both comic writers coincide in tracing back the origin of the war in the attachment between the politician and the Milesian woman and a common pattern emerges: a “private” matter (in theory) brings war and destruction to the community, i.e. the public sphere. This article aims to analyse how the relationship between both operates in the origin of war and what it implies. The two comic authors concur in tracing the origin of war in the union and each one, in his own way, refers to the conflict between the Achaeans and the Trojans. Therefore, I recognise an interdiscourse that is resumed by Plutarch.
