Abstract


In this work I'm trying to show how Cervantes, in El Quijote, refuses the medieval interpretation about the Acteon myth; according to them, the prince of Thebes simbolizes the danger of hunting. Cervantes follows the theories suggested in the Renaissance, mainly the ones in the book by Natal Conti, who thinks that the young hunter suffers from. For this reason, Cervantes puts up with some ungrateful characters in the only passage where he mentions this fable, and this fact seems to determine the development of the novel to the end.
