However, these traditions are not always in agreement when it comes to defining the relationship between the Christian emperor and the pagan city, or the way in which the legendary memory of Byzantion influenced the history of Constantinople. This paper discusses the existing evidence and provides a tentative interpretation of the role that different traditions played in shaping the symbolic dimension of Constantine and Constantinople. Las tradiciones legendarias bizantinas acerca de la fundación de Constantinopla por Constantino siempre recuerdan que la capital cristiana fue construida sobre la ciudad pagana de Bizancio. Sin embargo, estas tradiciones no siempre se muestran de acuerdo al momento de definir la relación entre el emperador cristiano y la ciudad pagana o la forma en que la memoria de Bizancio influyó sobre la historia de Constantinopla. El presente artículo analiza la información que se conserva al respecto y ofrece una interpretación del rol desempeñado por las diferentes tradiciones en la definición simbólica de Constantino y de Constantinopla. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/10012 10.34096/afc.i33.10012 eng Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/10012/8762 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/10012/8763 Anales de Filología Clásica; Vol. 2 Núm. 33 (2020): La narración en Bizancio: perspectivas narratológicas sincrónicas y diacrónicas; 7-30 2362-4841 0325-1721 Constantine I Byzantion Constantinople Paganism Christianity Constantino I Bizancio Constantinopla paganismo cristianismo The Christian Emperor and the Pagan City: Constantine I’s Legendary Relationship with Byzantion El emperador cristiano y la ciudad pagana: la relación legendaria entre Constantino I y Bizancio info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=anafilog&d=10012_oai
