D’Annunzio, «il ferro di Erme e lo specchio di Atena»
abstract
A useful track to read Il fuoco is the one provided years later and implicitly by d’Annunzio himself in Il compagno dagli occhi senza cigli. Following that trace and the epiphanic value of an object, the mirror, the essay proposes to outline, at least in one of its aspects, the path from reality to myth.
