We intend to show that, according to Plutarch, Athenian politicians make use of theatrical techniques in order to gain the approval of the people and thus strengthen their power. First we will investigate Plutarch’s literary opinions about theater. Secondly, we will use a discourse analysis approach to study the Lives of Alcibiades, Nicias and Pericles, because they represent three different styles of leadership. Finally, we will confrontate the conclusions with the Spartan case. El presente trabajo se propone estudiar la relación entre política y teatro en Atenas clásica en las Vidas paralelas de Plutarco. Intentamos mostrar que, de acuerdo con Plutarco, los políticos atenienses hacen uso de técnicas teatrales para obtener la aprobación del pueblo y así fortalecer su poder. En primer lugar indagaremos en las opiniones literarias de Plutarco acerca del teatro. En segundo lugar nos valdremos de las herramientas del análisis del discurso para abordar las vidas de Alcibíades, Nicias y Pericles, dado que representan tres estilos diferentes de liderazgo. Para finalizar, confrontaremos las conclusiones con la situación en Esparta. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/9587 10.34096/afc.i33.9587 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/9587/8459 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/9587/8467 Anales de Filología Clásica; Vol. 1 Núm. 33 (2020): La antigüedad grecolatina en perspectiva interdisciplinaria (Analía Sapere, coord.); 71-100 2362-4841 0325-1721 Plutarch Parallel Lives theater Athens democracy Plutarco Vidas Paralelas teatro Atenas democracia Theater and politics in classical Athens according to Plutarch’s view Teatro y política en la Atenas clásica desde la mirada de Plutarco info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=anafilog&d=9587_oai
