Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 2008.

This dissertation explores the political and cultural functions of digressive classical mythological episodes in two early modern Spanish and two Colonial Spanish American epic poems: Juan Boscán's Leandro (1543), Alonso de Ercilla's La Araucana (1569, 78, 89), Lope de Vega's Jerusalén conquistada (1609), and Juan de Miramontes's Armas antárticas (1608-09). Beyond the brief mythological allusions typical of many Hispanic epics of the day, these four works include sustained episodes of classical mythology that only indirectly relate to the main plots of the poems. I argue that these mythical passages serve essential roles in the epics by foreshadowing, recasting, and emphasizing certain significant ideas and actions of the works. In doing so, I contend that the mythological interpolations contribute to the epics' celebration and embellishment of the artistic, military, and colonial endeavors of the Spanish Empire of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This focus allows me to examine issues of poetic imitation, the relation between visual artwork and the poetic texts, as well as the social tensions that often characterize epic poetry of early modern Spain and Colonial Spanish America.
