Reverberaciones grecolatinas del mito del Minotauro en Jorge Luis Borges y en Julio Cortázar

this paper contains a thematic comparison between the grecoroman mythologem of asterion-labyrinthus and his thematization in jorge luis borges' tale "the house of asterion" and in the kings, a dramatic poem by julio cortázar. my scope is to perform an analysis of the resemantized components around the shaping of the figure of the minotaur with a comparative approach: it deals then with the thematization of this personage as an antagonist in the grecoroman mythologem looking to this configuration as a hero, philosopher and poet in the remakings by the above mentioned argentinean writers.
