Publio Ventidio Baso, protegido de Julio César y lugarteniente de Marco Antonio, fue celebrado en el primer siglo de nuestra era por muchos de los más renombrados autores de la antigüedad por su competencia en el manejo de las legiones contra las invasiones partas, y por su astucia política y fidelidad en las revueltas que sucedieron a la muerte de César. A principios del siglo XVII, Shakespeare se inspiró en las fuentes históricas que se ocupaban de él y sus circunstancias, lo recuperó dramáticamente y le dedicó una escena de Antonio y Cleopatra ; a fines del mismo siglo, Dryden lo reinventó y magnificó en el drama que él mismo llamó "imitación" de Shakespeare, Todo por amor. Publio Ventidio asume instrumentalmente distintas figuras en cada obra : en la biografía plutarquiana de Marco Antonio es una mera nota incidental ; en la historia de Apiano, el verdadero tomador de decisiones y lugarteniente de Antonio en las guerras de Mutina y Perusia ; en la historia de Dión Casio, el único héroe de la campaña parta ; en la tragedia shakespeariana, una medida de la verdadera grandeza del protagonista ; y en el drama heroico de Dryden, una marca del choque entre la vieja generación agonal y la pragmática nueva guardia. Son estas recreaciones históricas y ficcionales las que resultarán de interés en el presente artículo. |
