Resumen
En su Expositio virgilianae continentiae, Fulgencio el Mitógrafo lee e interpreta la Eneida virgiliana en clave alegórica, anclada en la etimología y con la clausura de las escrituras, que sanciona la moral. La obra, que en general es vista como la primera alegorización cristiana de Virgilio, tiene no obstante un cariz paródico que a menudo es soslayado por la crítica, en función de una lectura más seria, en la que el eje principal es el didactismo. El presente trabajo se propone analizar la situación narrativa de la Expositio suponiendo que se enmarca en un escenario paródico-ficcional, conformado por una serie de elementos: la escuela del grammaticus, sus personajes, su materia, y sus estrategias discursivas. Nuestra segunda hipótesis es que este escenario general condiciona la presentación de las interpretaciones alegóricas que los personajes de Virgilio y Fulgencio realizan de la Eneida. Nuestro objetivo final es demostrar que la Expositio no es una obra didáctica, sino paródica, y que en ese sentido se aleja de los géneros didácticos para acercarse al molde de la sátira menipea.
In his Expositio virgilianae continentiae, Fulgentius the Mythographer reads and interprets Virgil’s Aeneid through an allegorical lens, rooted in etymology and guided by scriptural closure, which sanctions morality. Generally regarded as the first Christian allegory of Virgil, the work nonetheless carries a parodic tone that is often overlooked by critics in favour of a more serious reading, where didacticism is the central focus. This paper aims to analyse the narrative situation of the Expositio, assuming it is framed in a parodic-fictional scenario, constituted by a series of elements: the school of the grammaticus, its characters, its subject, and its strategies. Our second hypothesis is that this general scenario shapes the presentation of the allegorical interpretations offered by the characters of Virgil and Fulgentius regarding the Aeneid. Our final objective is to demonstrate that the Expositio is not a didactic work but rather a parodic one, and in this sense, it diverges from didactic genres and aligns more closely with the model of the Menippean satire.
