Myth dynamism is evident in the dialogue established between all arts and literature. Many artistic manifestations are literary myths retellings: tales retold in a different manner. Issue 8 of Amaltea addresses these myths in contemporary opera, where the fusion between music and literature acquires an explanatory and argumentative capacity that surpasses the limits of literature. The result of the transference of literary texts to an operatic medium incorporates the elements, advantages and "disadvantages" of opera, providing an interesting opportunity to study myths retellings.
