The concept of the classical tradition and its permanence in Spanish contemporary poetry (from 1950 to the present)
Abstract
The use of Greco-Roman motifs can be taken as a common thread to guide us –new Ariadne’s thread– through the poetic labyrinth of recent decades. Its importance is such that it forces us to reflect on the concept of classic and continuity. Similarly, it gives cause to analyze which accommodative modes are of the Greco-Roman tradition in the recent poetic decades; how they reinterpret the classic sense and bring it up to date. Indeed, both the myth and the heritage of the classics, they are such fortheir ability to provide different messages, adapt to diverse aesthetics, and not only as an ornament but also as expression itself.
