IRIARTE GONI*, Ana. Un lógos des-autorizado en el escenario de la Atenas democrática (y en Wikipedia). Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.1, pp.47-47. ISSN 0328-1205.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe047.

This essay deals with the mythical figure of Cassandra, daughter of the western king Priam and unauthorized spokesperson on behalf of Apollo, in the episode of her biography that places her in the plundering of Troy, raped by the Achaean Ajax before Athena's altar. Said episode is tackled from the perspective of both iconographic and literary Greek traditions, two very different sources which coincide in attributing the young woman the braveness typical of the hoplites.

Keywords : Cassandra; Ajax; Rape; Polyxena; Hecuba; Iconographic and literary Greek traditions.
