Abstract
The didactic poem The Music of the canarian fabulist Tomás de Iriarte (1750-1791) contains numerous references to the classical languages and their culture.They are an excellent example of the rich humanistic culture and knowledge of ancient and modern languages that Iriarte treasured. In this paper we analyze his treatment of characters and topics from the history literature and mythology of Greece and Rome, and the way in which he pours his extensive knowledge of the classical languages into a work, now forgotten, but which gained him international recognition as a great musical theorist and constitutes a worthy sample of the eighteenth-century didactic literature
