This work investigates the work of Lygia Fagundes Telles, tracing in it aspects that are aesthetically representative of the Dionysian, understood in the sense exposed by Nietzschean intuition, as one of nature's aesthetic instincts. Using images, symbols, and values related to the myth and rite of Dionysus, the Brazilian writer broadly explores the imagery attached to the god of wine, metamorphosis, and madness. As evidenced by our study, the Dionysian essence runs through all lygian writing, assuming a central position around which gravitate the other figures and other themes worked by the artist. By recognizing these innumerable Dionysian marks, we have exposed how the poetic universe of Lygia Fagundes Telles, during the twentieth century, aesthetically reconstituted the tragic structure, represented in the contrastive duality of forces symbolized by the figures of Apollo and Dionysus, according to the conception tragic in the work of young Nietzsche. In addition to Friedrich Nietzsche's works of youth, the work is based on recognized studies of Dionysus and dynamism, such as those by Giorgio Colli (1990), Carl Kerényi (1997), Marcel Detienne (2010) and Walter Otto (2017). Supported by these and other researchers, we analyze narratives by Lygia Fagundes Telles, highlighting the novel The Naked Hours, tracing and valuing the Dionysian element present in them, a symbol of movement of resistance to the hegemonic scientific spirit that dominates our culture.
