ABSTRACT
At the beginning of a line by Baudelaire, the sibilant sound is followed by the biting resonance, which is reminiscent of the sound of the castigatory whip or of an Erinyan insect, like the one heard by Roland Barthes in Sarrasine. The concretization of this image, which is made even more tangible by the recurrent classical low relief of Sisyphus bent beneath the weight of his stone. However, it has not managed to avoid the allegorical interpretation. In an attempt to propose an alternative meaning, the allegorical interpretation alters the meaning. People are familiar with his use of the myth in Le Cygne, which for him, turns to allegory, that is, enables him to write about himself. Hyginus have provided inspiration for various versions of an epic of which the basic and sometimes contradictory events have been preserved by the textbooks on mythology.
