    Annotation:

    This article analyzes the novel written by Julio Llamazares, Distintas formas de mirar el agua (2015), and takes into account characteristic elements of the work that are reminiscent of Greek Theatre threnodies (planto or treno). In order to do this, we underline in the first place the similarities linked to the structure and function of the characters and also the thematic content and topics of elegiac classical genre. Then we consider various landscape features in classical literature emphasizing parallels and values that it acquires in this novel. In conclusion, we make a brief consideration about the ideological concept of tragedy reflected in contemporary drama and in this work of Llamazares.
