Resumen
LINAN, Alejandra Mabel. El viaje del alma después de la muerte. Un motivo homérico en Fuego en Casabindo de Héctor Tizón. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.2, pp.87-87. ISSN 0328-1205. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe087.
Héctor Tizón’s narrative work includes, from his first novel published, Fuego en Casabindo (1969), the ascription to the Homeric tradition, encoded in the citation, as an epigraph, of a fragment of Odyssey (11, 216-224), enunciated by Anticlea, who reveals to his son what happens to human beings when they die. At the same time, it incorporates into the narrated world the traditional songs and folk tales, the myths and beliefs of the northwest region of Argentina. Eschatology is one knowledge that articulates these cultures so distant in time and space.
This article maintains that the Greek motif integrated into the novels is not a secondary component. Rather, the eschatological motif establishes the narrative matrix and shapes the novel structure, while providing significant elements for the interpretation.
