La modernización del mito en Fuegos de Marguerite Yourcenar

This article develops a critical interpretation of the book Fires, particularly of the tales whose stories correspond to the noble characters and the heroes of the mythical Greek world. In these, the different transformations of the myth that originate in Greece in the archaic period are explored as a rite until its poetic rework in the tragedy corresponding to the classical period. Then, it will be understood how the myth in Modernity is treated literarily from the German Romantics, in its "rediscovery" of Classical Antiquity, until the corresponding period in the twentieth century to the interwar period, whose changes and ethical and aesthetic implications are the product of European history to which the work and the author Marguerite Yourcenar belong. For this, a hermeneutical methodology is used, that through a documentary review allows a mythological, historical and sociological reading of the phenomena that occur in the rewriting and reinterpretation of myths. Finally, the concepts of myth, tragedy, romanticism and modernity are reviewed - this last central nucleus in the analysis - to understand the ethical implications of the return to myth in contemporary times.
