Mourning, celebration, and the sun god: the Apollo-Hades antithesis in Fr. 271 (Davies & Finglass) by Stesichorus
This paper aims to argue that the Apollo-Hades antithesis established in Stesichorus, fragment 271 (Davies & Finglass), when put in the context of its transmission source (Plutarch, On the E at Delphi), can admit a renewed meaning to the Plutarchian audience, namely, that Apollo and Hades ar...

| description | This paper aims to argue that the Apollo-Hades antithesis established in Stesichorus, fragment 271 (Davies & Finglass), when put in the context of its transmission source (Plutarch, On the E at Delphi), can admit a renewed meaning to the Plutarchian audience, namely, that Apollo and Hades are also opposed to each other considering that the former, as it is speculated, is a god associated with the sun, and the latter, as it is well known, is the god of the underworld – an unlikely meaning for the audience contemporary to Stesichorus. Therefore, we analyze the internal and external elements that constitute the opposition in the poem, and place them under Plutarch’s point of view. The analysis focuses on thematic and intertextual aspects, given the few verses that remain from the fragment. Thus, the paper intends to show how Apollo’s imagery as a sun god reinforces Plutarch’s thesis on the purity of Apollo, and establishes a new facet in opposition to Hades, although it has dubious bases according to Plutarch.

Este artículo pretende proponer que la antítesis Apolo-Hades presente en el fragmento 271 de Aesthesire (Davies & Finglass), vista desde el contexto de su fuente de transmisión (Plutarco, Do E de Delphi), pueda admitir al público de Plutarenecque un significado renovado, es decir, que Apolo y Hades también se distingan por eso, se especula, siendo un dios asociado con el Sol, y este, conocido, el dios del inframundo, sentido poco probable para el público contemporáneo a la Estemia. Para ello, analizamos los elementos internos y externos que constituyen la oposición en el poema y los situamos bajo la perspectiva de plutarc. El análisis se centra en aspectos temáticos e intertextuales, dados los pocos versos que quedaban del fragmento. Así, se pretende mostrar cómo la imagen de Apolo como dios sol, aunque tiene bases dudosas según Plutarco, forma parte de sus indagaciones, refuerza su tesis sobre la pureza de Apolo y establece una nueva faceta en oposición al Hades. Este artigo tem como objetivo propor que a antítese Apolo-Hades presente no fragmento 271 de Estesícoro (Davies & Finglass), se vista a partir do contexto de sua fonte de transmissão (Plutarco, Do E de Delfos), pode admitir para o público plutarqueano um renovado sentido, a saber, que Apolo e Hades se distinguem também em função de aquele, especula-se, ser um deus associado ao Sol, e este, sabidamente, o deus do submundo – sentido improvável para o público contemporâneo a Estesícoro. Para tanto, analisamos os elementos internos e externos que constituem a oposição no poema e os colocamos sob a ótica de Plutarco. A análise se concentra em aspectos temáticos e intertextuais, dados os poucos versos que nos restaram do fragmento. Assim, pretende-se mostrar de que modo a imagem de Apolo como um deus-Sol, embora tenha bases duvidosas segundo Plutarco, faz parte de suas indagações, reforça sua tese sobre a pureza de Apolo e instaura uma nova faceta em oposição a Hades.
