O MITO COMO SÍNTESE ENTRE A OBRA DE BAUDELAIRE E A ANTIGUIDADE CLÁSSICA

Abstract

This article aims to establish a dialogue between the classical ancient and Baudelaire's poetry, having as a connector  the myth. In some Baudelaire's texts there are references to mythological characters that  have been used by the universal literature since ancient times . This reference shows that in some moments, Baudelaire's work  has also surrendered to the charms of the world of myth, taking advantage of classic culture and updating mythological entities established by the literary tradition. It is known that the recurrence to the myth is a search for understanding the facts whose interpretation goes beyond the spirit of man, then, one can realize a Baudelaire's source to compose a poetic that reveals the anxiety to discover some of the life mysteries. The purpose of this study is the reading of some  Baudelaire's texts in which these myths are , full of rich messages that in the past, have probably served as inspiration to other authors.
