Ética y Literatura: La Tradición Clásica Griega en Último desembarco de Fernando Savater
Abstract
F. Savater's Último desembarco represents Ulysses' arrival at Ithaca as a metaphor of the moment of human life which precedes the fulfillment of a dream. Once he has reached the coasts of his fatherland, his city and palace, he has to face his doubts, to decide whether to continue or to end the adventure, and to give up the ideals he has maintained all through the years at the very moment of their fulfillment. The goddess Athena symbolizes Ulysses' dichotomy between reason and conviction, between hesitation and heroism. The philosopher profits the genre of comedy to perform a heroic plot, the drama of freedom.
