We carry out a review of central aspects that characterize compassion and establish some clarifications that guide our analysis; among other aspects, we look over the Greek terms to name this emotion, éleos and oíktos, and the meanings involved in each of them since Homer. The analysis of compassion takes Sophocles' Trachiniae and Oedipus the King as sources. In both cases, the starting point is the pathetic event or páthos, which in Poet. 1452b11-13 refers not to a subjective experience of emotion in a tragic character, but to a kind of action that would form part of the theatrical lexicon and that involves scenes of physical pain, wounds, or death. The analysis then looks at other passages that, in the course of the piece and through imitation, incorporate this emotion. En el marco de los estudios sobre las emociones, abordamos en este trabajo la compasión en la Antigüedad griega. Realizamos una revisión de aspectos centrales que caracterizan la compasión y establecemos algunas precisiones que orientan nuestro análisis; entre otros aspectos, revisamos los términos griegos para nombrar esta emoción, éleos y oíktos, y los sentidos implicados en cada uno de ellos desde Homero. El análisis sobre la compasión toma como fuentes Traquinias y Edipo Rey de Sófocles. En ambos casos, el punto de partida es el acontecimiento patético o páthos, que en Poet. 1452b11-13 refiere no a una experiencia subjetiva de la emoción en un personaje trágico, sino a una especie de acción que formaría parte del léxico teatral y que implica escenas de dolor físico, de heridas o de muerte. El análisis atiende luego a otros pasajes que, en el curso de la pieza y mediante la imitación, incorporan esta emoción.         Facultad de Humanidades UNCo 2023-12-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf text/html https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/filosofia/article/view/5552 ark:/s18537960/f8p61a7w6 Páginas de Filosofía; Vol. 24 No. 27 (2023); 127-145 Páginas de Filosofía; Vol. 24 Núm. 27 (2023); 127-145 1853-7960 0327-5108 spa https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/filosofia/article/view/5552/62457 https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/filosofia/article/view/5552/62520 Derechos de autor 2024 Páginas de Filosofía https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
