La novia que llegó del mar
Abstract
Thetis the Nereid, Achilles' mother, is an unusual character among Greek goddesses; as we have it, the tale of her wedding with a human being is the only one in Greek mythology. On the other hand, a brief recapitulation of the chief events in Achilles' life presents us with a hero who has unmistakable points of similarity with Bhisma, one of the heroes of the Mahiibhiirata poem; likewise, there is enough similarity between Thetis and Ganga, :ShTsma's mother. The confrontation of both tales does indeed illustrate in Thetis character the goddess through whom, in an old indoeuropean mythologem, the "great war", needful for world counterpoise, was possible.Downloads
