Imaginário clássico na poesia de António Arnaut (Classical imaginary in the poetry of António Arnaut)

Abstract

The study analyzes the way classical culture is used and rewritten in the poetry of António Arnaut, through a subtle net of discrete allusions to some myths and figures, with special emphasis on those with a strong initiatory resonance, like the cult of Dionysus, the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orpheus.
