• Resumen

  • A literary review of the book Persephone by Yannis Ritsos is presented. It refers to the reconfiguration of Persephone as a tale of oppression in the context of the Greek dictatorship. It highlights the failure of a strictly political reading of Ritsos to do justice to his work. It describes the myth of Persephone read as an evocation of the female developmental course.
