Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the astrakhan Los Pelópidas (1966) by Jorge Llopis Establier. Through humor, lighthearted verses, unexpected out-of-place comments and parodic connections between serious literature and popular culture, the author makes a caricature of Greek tragedy, and mythical and literary plots of canonical plays (of epic and tragic genre) are transformed into comedy.
