RESUMEN O ESQUEMA DEL ARTÍCULO:Sófocles es el más clásico y universal de los autores trágicos griegos. Nació enel demo ático de Colono Hípico en 497/6 a. C. y murió en Atenas en 406 a. C. Su vidaocupa todo el siglo V a. C., el de la epoca gloriosa de Atenas, ciudad que nuncaabandono salvo en breves misiones oficiales. Junto a su actividad literaria tuvodiversos cargos publicos importantes a lo largo de su vida, y fue tan popular que a sumuerte los atenienses le rindieron culto heroico como Dexion.Sofocles compuso 123 piezas dramaticas, entre tragedias y dramas satiricos,de las que solo se conservan enteras 7 tragedias: Ayax (cercana a 447), LasTraquinias, Antigona (442), Edipo Rey (entre 440 y 425), Electra (cercana a 418),Filoctetes (409) y Edipo en Colono (representada postumamente por su nieto en 401).Vencio en los concursos tragicos en dieciocho ocasiones y nunca quedo el tercero.Sofocles abandono la trilogia tematica que formaban las tragedias de Esquilo yconcentro cada argumento en una sola tragedia para resaltar su protagonista: el heroetragico, que sufre un dolor inexplicable causado por la divinidad. Es el gran poeta delos caracteres. Como Herodoto, todavia reproduce esquemas del pensamientoarcaico, como en el respeto a las normas religiosas tradicionales y en el rechazo delracionalismo sofistico; los hombres han de ser moderados ante la divinidad y aceptarlo que ella les envia.

A través de una serie de poemas, cuentos y reflexiones, Juan Ruiz, conocido como el Arcipreste de Hita, explora el tema del amor desde multiples perspectivas, entrelazando lo espiritual con lo terrenal. Su uso del humor, la ironia y el lenguaje popular le otorgan una singularidad que lo distingue en el contexto literario de su epoca, donde prevalecian los textos mas formales y didacticos. La obra es un compendio de experiencias amorosas, que va desde la exaltacion del amor ideal hasta la critica de las relaciones romanticas, reflejando asi la complejidad de las emociones humanas. Juan Ruiz nacio en el siglo XIV en la localidad de Hita, en Castilla, y su vida estuvo marcada por una profunda relacion con la literatura y la teologia. Su condicion de clerigo y su formacion le permitieron acceder a una rica tradicion literaria que influyo en su escritura. Ruiz busco romper con las convenciones medievales, integrando elementos diversos como la fabula, el canto y la satira, con un profundo sentido critico hacia la sociedad de su tiempo. Recomiendo encarecidamente el "Libro de buen amor" a cualquier lector interesado en la literatura medieval y en el estudio del amor como fenomeno cultural y existencial. La obra no solo ofrece un deleite estetico, sino que tambien invita a la reflexion sobre los matices del deseo, la moralidad y la condicion humana, haciendo de esta lectura una experiencia enriquecedora e indispensable para comprender el legado literario español.
