| Sumario: | The ability of the Greco-Roman myth to perpetuate and multiply interpretations for generations of readers of prose and poetry has spanned time and literature, both classical and popular. This article aims to observe how popular poets have taken up this mythology from the mid-20th century to date as a source of inspiration for the poetic narratives of cordel literature, adapting stories, characters and feats to the tastes of their readers. The cordelist's stance, when he acts as a kind of "translator" / mediator of this content, not only enables this audience to come into contact with texts and characters from universal literature, but also involves them in the fascination and seduction that the mythological universe holds. In doing so, he extends it to the imagination of the people, who, in the process of reception, also resignify it when they are invited to get to know the broad scenario of the revisited stories. |
