La lección pedagógica del ejemplo de Sodoma en el Pedagogo III 44.1 de Clemente de Alejandría: La comparación entre Síbaris y Sodoma

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the reception of the term Sodom in the Paed. II 43.5-44.4, by the prominent Christian teacher and apologist. The methodology initially follows an immanent reading of the passage; subsequently, a historical-critical approach is undertaken to situate the implicit moral assumptions of the time in the interpretation of the Alexandrian theologian. The result is an argumentative structure based on the opposition between simplicity-tryphé (luxury) and a comparative framework between Sodom and Sybaris.
