A boat ride with Charon through the Spanish Literature of the Golden Age
Abstract
In this article, we go through the Golden Age Literature with the myth of Charon, which links and splits two worlds at the same time. We try to find out what the reception of the myth was in different authors of this period. Through the comparative study of selected texts, we analyze what the interpretation of the myth has been, and which the most representative traits reflected on it, showing two main lines of interpretation: the one revealing a moral allegoric Charon and the other showing a satirical and doctrinal Charon.
