Relaciones y diferencias entre el amor conyugal en Homero y Hesíodo

Abstract

: In this work, it is observed the relations and differences about conjugal love present in the works of Homer and Hesiod, positioning the dialectic philía and éros as frames of analysis, observing the pre-eminence of these, through a work of comparative tables, valuing the socio-historical contexts of each, that is, the aristocratic environment in Homer and the villager atmosphere in Hesiod. The aim is to expose the ideas and singularities that each author expressed and how their context took part in this view of conjugal love, considering each one as valuable in itself. The analysis approach moves from historical anthropology, emphasizing ritual and religious components. A more individualistic and coercive tendency could be seen in the writings of the author from Ascra, as well as a more harmonious and a style a little more symmetric in Homer.
