O Mito de Apolo e Dafne em confluência com os aspectos da poesia árcade no soneto XIII de Cláudio Manoel da Costa

Abstract

This study starts from an analysis of the Myth of Apollo and Daphne in the work Soneto XIII by Cláudio Manuel da Costa, an inconfidant and poet from the Brazilian Arcadia. In addition to understanding its main characteristics, we will take a look at the influence of mythological narratives on this period of writing Brazilian poetry. In this way, we will analyze the way in which the poet uses myth to express his romantic discontent, as well as the manifestations of aspects that are typical of Arcadian poetry. As a methodological procedure, we used the precepts of Comparative Literature, which carried out a bibliographical survey of studies related to the topic, such as that of Junito Brandão with The Myth of Apollo: Epidaurus and the Oracle of Delphi (1987), the studies of Melânia Aguiar in the game of oppositions in the poetry of Cláudio Manuel da Costa (1973) and the work of Massaud Moisés regarding Brazilian literature through texts (2012).
