| Sumario: | The objective of this work is to account for the cultural complexity present in the final myth of the Phaedo dialogue. The proposal is carried out through an anthropological and semiotic analysis. With the first, the relationship that mythological narration has with cultic practices and mystery rites is exposed. With the second, it is possible to explain the way in which the myth is intertwined with the argumentative passages (those of the logos), with the oral stories and with the traditional narratives of Greek culture. In turn, this interpretation is contrasted with the interpretation of the myth that presents it in the rational/irrational opposition, for which it is either a fantastic creation to illustrate what reason cannot, or as a type of justification of certain affirmations belonging to the argumentation of a thesis. It will be demonstrated that this conception is in solidarity with the nickname of eschatological myth, a concept that conceals its real link with the mythological tradition prior to Plato. And, at the same time, it is evident that that interpretation presents a semiotically simplistic version of the complexity of media dialogues in general. |
