Abstract

Seventeenth-century Spanish poems on Apollo and Daphne foreground rape so as to mock the god and by metonymy what he represents within each poem for not being "man" enough to violate the nymph. Modeled after Garcilaso de la Vega's sonnet 13 the poems operated two key changes in the myth with respect to the Ovidian source: to omit either or both Cupid and Peneus; and turn what started out as a tragedy into a comedy. This article analyzes texts by Juan Jerónimo Serra; Soto de Rojas; Lope; Polo de Medina; Quevedo; Rioja; and Fray Gonzalo de San Miguel among others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
