Pandora: mito e icono para una fiesta real

This work proposes to analyze La estatua de Prometeo by Calderón de la Barca and the allegoric-philosophical purposes of his mythological icon from a tour of the different stages that the repeated reformulation of Pandora's classic myth have determined. This Calderonian iconic metaphor constructs the deep meaning of the text, since his value is multiple and mends to the narrative, educational, aesthetic and symbolic dimensions. Calderón exhume Pandora's myth from his articolación about the duplications that defines the icon and that restore a labyrinthine poetics of the double.
