This research work, entitled The human and the divine in Zeus Rants, by Lucian of Samosata , analyses Lucian's mentioned text, in order to identify, through comparative and theoretical approaches, the articulation of comic and dramatic resources as formal elements of literary composition and recreation of the ancient Greek canon, examining dramatic traits which are particular to Lucian's poetics. This work analyses the action, focusing on the construction of the characters in the dialogue, considering its intrinsic relation to the representation of the philosopher, the orator, the rhetoric master and the deities. Essential influences that help understand Lucian's text were considered in this analysis, such as the historical moment of the Second Sophistic in the II d.C and the contradictions in Greece under the domain of imperial Rome; the condition of the foreigner as an element of Lucian's poetics, in which the representation of a dislocated paideia tradition is present and constant; the fusion of philosophic dialogue with dialogues inspired by Tragedy and Comedy in the recreation of the historical and artistic past through the literary mimesis. From the selected theories about literary genres, Greek society, laughter and humor, the dramatic effects, among others, the chosen concepts were analyzed in the work through readings of the Spanish and the English versions compared in the light of the original Greek text, applying the hypothesis presented in the theoretical framework. The study led us to confirm the initial hypothesis that Lucian of Samosata recreated the Hellenic tradition both in a dramatic and comic way by placing together in Zeus Rants the Greek literary and rhetoric creation, submitting them to particular elements of his poetics, which brings back and dethrones the canonical places of religion, philosophy and Greek oratory.
