Caza y sacrificio en la Orestíada: el dilema del héroe guerrero en Homero, Esquilo y M. Yourcenar

Abstract

This text presents a development and examples about the concept of hunting and sacrifice supported by Vernant and Vidal Naquet using The Oresteian trilogy by Aeschylus, some lines of Odyssey by Homer and Clytemnestra, or Crime by M.
Yourcenar. There is a critical revision of the myth of Orestes, his motivations and the transcendence in the Universal Literature, while the figure of Clytemnestra is studied like a necessary and questioned character in the constitution of this tapestry of myths.
