El concepto del JUEGO, la transformación de las categorías de lo bello, trágico y heroico en el discurso del deporte español contemporáneo
The concept of GAME and transformation of the categories of beauty, tragic and heroic in the contemporary Spanish sports discourse

Summary/Abstract: This article highlights the way the categories of Hellenic aesthetics are transformed in the contemporary Spanish sports discourse and the role they play in it. It analyses the concepts of agon, arete and hubris that are part of these categories. Special attention is paid to the religious aspect that penetrates the sports discourse. This study argues that the concepts developed by the Greeks and transformed later are explicitly presented in the texts dedicated to sport. We offer a full-scale field of illustrative material, these are the examples taken from the press and books devoted to sport that facilitate the understanding of the realization of the notions of Hellenic philosophy.
