La Ilíada y Troya. La percepción moderna del relato homérico

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to verify whether the archaic mentality of the Iliad remains in Troy. Our research, helped by Mircea Eliade studies, shows the way in which the suppression of divinity in favor of an historical review precludes the permanence of the old mentality in the film. The rewriting of the myth from the categories of modern thought (philosophically speaking) almost completely transformed not only the personality of heroes, whose passions are the true efficient cause of the facts, but also the idea of war as a context of the story.
