Diogenes as a Personal Emblem in Lope de Vega (and his Humanistic Model)

Abstract

Lope de Vega expressed a particular interest in the figure of the cynic philosopher Diogenes throughout his life and even used it as a personal emblem in the poem Jerusalén conquistada. Probably followed the Benito Arias Montano’s model, who also used the Greek mathematician Archimedes as a personal emblem and even stamped his figure on the cover of the Biblia Regia.
