Abstract

JUNCO DE CALABRESE, Ethel. MITO Y MISTERIO: LA OFRENDA DE EDIPO. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.48, pp.49-69. ISSN 0120-1263.

The following paper proposes a study of the nature of the myth, its properties and, particularly, the requirements of the eschatological myth. It establishes its intrinsic relation with the tragedy as a field to express the importance of what is human. The relation between mystery and drama, which happens in the intersection of time and timelessness, is exemplified with Sophocles' works, leading to a detailed study of Oedipus at Colonus and the presentation of a sketch of its eschatology, which precedes that of Plato.

Keywords : Myth; Tragedy; Greek Religiosity; Eschatological Myth; Sophocles.
