Homoerotika v romanu Madeline Miller Ahilova pesem

Plankar, Nuša (author), Snoj, Vid (mentor)

Diplomsko delo obravnava mit o Ahilu v sodobnem romanu Madeline Miller Ahilova pesem. Roman interpretiram na podlagi antične različice mita v Homerjevem epu Iliada. Zanimala sta me predvsem razvoj Ahilovega značaja in njegovo razmerje s Patroklom. Dotaknila sem se tudi Shakespearjeve drame Troilus in Kresida, s katero sem ponazorila prehod od prijateljstva v antični različici mita k homoerotičnemu razmerju v sodobni predelavi, saj pri Shakespearju najdemo le namigovanje na homoerotični odnos med tema dvema junakoma.

• Title: Homoerotic relationship in Madeline Miller's novel The Song of Achilles

Abstract

The diploma thesis deals with the myth of Achilles in the contemporary novel The Song of Achilles. It is analysed based on the ancient version of the myth in Homer's epic Iliad. I was particularly interested in the development of Achilles' character and his relationship with Patroclus. I also touched on Shakespeare's play Troilus and Cressida, which I used to illustrate the transition from friendship in the ancient version of the myth to a homoerotic relationship in the modern adaptation, since in Shakespeare we only find a hint of a homoerotic relationship between the two heroes.
