Ten years have passed since the fall of Troy. The surviving Greek warriors who destroyed that city have returned home. All except Odysseus, whose wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, await him. Claiming that Odysseus is dead, a host of suitors have taken up residence in his home, eating up his wealth and trying to persuade Penelope to marry one of them. Penelope steadfastly refuses.

El propio Federico García Lorca, profundo conocedor de la historia del cante jondo, supo referirlo en una conferencia suya y vaticinar algunas de las intenciones de su Poema del cante jondo: "El "cante jondo" se acerca al triunfo del pájaro y a las músicas naturales del chopo y la ola; es simple a fuerza de vejez y de estilización.

Es una obra cumbre de la poesía moderna. Sus composiciones rompen con el estilo convencional, en uso hasta entonces, y rejuvenecen la estructura del verso mediante el uso regular de encabalgamientos, rechazos y contrarrechazos. Esto renueva la forma rígida del soneto. Utiliza imágenes sugestivas mediante asociaciones a menudo inéditas, tales como el "Ángel cruel que azota los soles" (Le Voyage). Mezcla el lenguaje erudito con el discurso cotidiano....

When the Duke of Vienna decides to go undercover in his own city, he leaves Angelo, his deputy, in charge and disguises himself as a monk to see how things progress in his absence. Angelo, who purports to be a man of honor and a stickler for the rules, arrests young Claudio...
