Tipología del rey en los relatos míticos de la Grecia antigua

Main Article Content

Abstract

Mythical tales in ancient Greece provide numerous examples of the awful supernatural forces that the divine beings unchained at the sight of the criminal acts committed by the sovereign. He king, as Zeus’ offspring, chosen by him, must render that god an account of his own actions, so that he would receive a positive answer from nature when he behaved rightly, while the divine wrath, if he was unjust or arrogant, was hurled against him and his community. Such tales had an exemplary purpose and they attempted both to help keep the ancestral order and to establish the various ways of purification and expiation.
