Through its nearly one thousand verses, the soul, freed from the body during sleep, attempts to attain knowledge through bold intellectual flights. The book unveils the meaning of the poem by exploring the Greco-Latin myths that structure it, drawing upon the mythographic tradition stemming from Ovid's \u003cem\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/em\u003e. The author demonstrates that classical mythology is essential for understanding the composition and profound meaning of this masterpiece of Hispanic American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study focuses on \u003cem\u003ePrimero sueño\u003c\/em\u003e, a philosophical poem where Sor Juana narrates the soul's journey toward knowledge during the body's sleep. Amidst the darkness and nocturnal silence, the spirit rises with daring, yet confronts the limits of human reason. The author analyzes how the Greco-Latin myths selected by Sor Juana act as a common thread for this intellectual transgression. Each myth is examined in its context, revealing its relevance for deciphering the structure and sense of the poem. The work demonstrates that classical mythology is not an ornament, but a determining element for understanding the composition and message of \u003cem\u003ePrimero sueño\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMythographic analysis of the poem \u003cem\u003ePrimero sueño\u003c\/em\u003e by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe function of Greco-Latin myths as a vehicle for knowledge in the Mexican Baroque.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe classical mythographic tradition, especially Ovid's \u003cem\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/em\u003e, as an interpretive foundation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe soul's journey toward knowledge and intellectual transgression in Sor Juana's poetry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe composition and profound meaning of \u003cem\u003ePrimero sueño\u003c\/em\u003e through its mythological references.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students, teachers, and researchers of Hispanic American literature, classical studies, and mythology.
