Abstract

ARROYO CARVAJAL, Yordan. Dig up Traditions to lose Fear of Shipwrecks: Aurora Luque and her Greco-Latin Universes. Nova tellus [online]. 2025, vol.43, n.2, pp.209-221.  Epub Sep 26, 2025. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2025.43.2/x001w03a250699.

In this research note we develop, broadly speaking, some interpretations of the collected poetry (1982-2022) of Aurora Luque, who not only stands out for being one of the leading translators of Sappho into Spanish, but also for her rescue of Greco-Latin poetesses and for incorporating such subjects through her poems. In Las sirenas de abajo (2023) there appear different manipulations, adaptations and updates, especially sororal and Humanistic, of different myths, characters, authors and books of Greco-Latin Tradition. At the same time I perceive from the point of view of an active reader postmodern discursive weavings between her Classical roots and Anne Carson’s (Anglo-Saxon Tradition).

Keywords : Sappho; Traditions and Receptions; Aurora Luque; Anne Carson; Mythical Actualizations.
