Summary "El Consejo de los Dioses" by José Rizal is a theatrical allegory written in the late 19th century. This work presents a gathering of mythological deities in Olympus who engage in a literary contest, reflecting on the significance of literature and its impact on humanity. The narrative highlights themes of creativity, criticism, and the recognition of artistic merit. In this allegorical piece, the gods convene to honor notable writers and assess their contributions to literature. Jupiter, the king of the gods, proposes a contest to determine which mortal deserves accolades for their literary prowess. The deities debate over Homer, Virgil, and Cervantes, with each god presenting arguments in favor of their preferred poet based on their achievements and influence. Ultimately, through a measure of justice, each writer is deemed equal, recognizing the distinct value each brings to the literary world. The work intertwines humor and keen observations on the nature of literary fame, ultimately celebrating the enduring legacy of these authors. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
