| description | In this paper, we analyze Claribel Alegría’s poem “Ira Demetrae” as a renewal of the genre of hymns. We delimit its relationships with the account provided by Robert Graves in The Greek Myths, and we compare with ancient sources, especially the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, Hymn II of the Homeric Hymns collection, in order to find out the particularities and innovations of the rereading of Alegría. We specify the characters and contents chosen by the poet, and the images and details that she has used, as well as the objectives achieved. Further more, we contextualize this poem in the work of Claribel Alegría, looking for common topics. So, we offer a complete vision of the tradition that this poem renews, not studied until now. |

En este artículo analizamos el poema “Ira Demetrae” de Claribel Alegría como renovación del género de los himnos. Delimitamos su relación con el relato proporcionado por Robert Graves en Los mitos griegos, y lo confrontamos con las fuentes antiguas, especialmente el Himno homérico a Deméter, el Himno II de la colección de Himnos homéricos, para buscar cuáles son las particularidades e innovaciones de la relectura de Alegría. Para ello, especificamos qué personajes y contenidos ha escogido la poeta, qué imágenes y detalles ha empleado, y qué objetivos ha alcanzado a través de ellos. Además, contextualizamos este poema en la obra de Claribel Alegría, buscando temas comunes. Esto nos permite ofrecer una visión completa sobre la tradición que renueva este poema, en el que hasta ahora no se ha detenido la crítica. 2020-12-01 2022-03-16T18:11:10Z 2022-03-16T18:11:10Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares Texto https://www.synthesis.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/SYNe085 10.24215/1851779Xe085 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/28031 spa https://www.synthesis.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/SYNe085/13260 https://www.synthesis.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/SYNe085/13326 https://www.synthesis.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/SYNe085/13310 Derechos de autor 2020 Josefa Fernández Zambudio text/html application/pdf application/epub+zip Universidad Nacional de La Plata.
