Against the growing monopoly of the visual element that triumphed in theatres, Lope expresses a complaint in the «Prólogo dialogístico» of his Parte decimosexta de comedias, which can be regarded as a paradox because this volume includes most of his mythological plays, a genre associated with spectacular pageantry and effects directed to the eyes. Through the first piece that he wrote of this type, Adonis y Venus, and providing new data for the analysis of his musical passages, it is shown that Lope's dramatic challenge is not only to structure the piece through the perception of the ear, but also to condense the musical knowledge that he was disseminating during those years in other non-mythological plays. The complex semantics of songs such as «Triunfa la hermosura, vence Atalanta», «Rapacillo lisonjero» or «Soñaba yo que tenía» shows the attitude of the first Lope before the fashion of the visual complained in the prologue: far from succumbing, it raises the demands of the sonorous ingredient and expands the poetic-musical resources
