EL PAR CÓMICO HOMÉRICO Y SU PROYECCIÓN SOBRE EL PAR CÓMICO ARISTOFÁNICO
Keywords:
Comic couple - Homeric epic - Aristophanic comedy - Hero/ antagonist - Mocker/mocked.Abstract
This paper tries to demonstrate the existence of a comic couple in the Homeric epic, composed of two opposite and antagonistic characters, the mocker and the mocked, that constitute the semantic focus of the episode. The hero is the spokesman of the positive discourse and takes the place of the winner and the mocker of his opponent. The early Aristophanic comedy utilises the Homeric scheme, among other antecedents, to build their main characters: the mocker and the mocked, the victor and the vanquished, the spokesman of the speech endorsed in the play and the spokesman of the speech attacked. Whitman (1964), among others, emphasises the parallels between Odysseus and the Aristophanic hero; however, the influence of the Homeric couple on the Aristophanic couple has not been analyzed. Our analysis focuses the concept of comic couple instead of the concept of comic hero.
