Within this tradition, it is the dramatic work Argonautas, by the Cuban author Carlos Fundora, which re-creates the Greek myth of the expedition of the ship Argo and its crew. The porpuses of this paper were to analyze the intertextual relation that Fundora establishes with previous literary works, especially with Argonautica and Homeric epic, and to point out some of the parodic existent elements in the Cuban playwright’s piece. The analyzed aspects led to the conclusion that the influence of Homer and Apollonius Rhodius on the Cuban play is evident, most of all in the re-creation of motives and characters of ancient epic. Also, through the realistic and humorous vision that he offers about the ancient myth, Fundora succeeds in entertaining the reader, at the same time as he expounds thoughts concerning present problems. En el teatro latinoamericano contemporáneo se ha desarrollado una amplia tendencia de reescritura y reinterpretación de los mitos clásicos. En esta tradición se inscribe la obra teatral Argonautas, del autor cubano Carlos Fundora, la cual recrea el mito griego del viaje de la nave Argo y sus tripulantes. Este trabajo se propuso como objetivos analizar la relación intertextual que Fundora establece con sus antecedentes literarios, en particular con Las Argonáuticas de Apolonio de Rodas y los poemas homéricos, y señalar algunos elementos paródicos presentes en la pieza del dramaturgo cubano. Los aspectos analizados permitieron concluir que el influjo de Homero y Apolonio de Rodas en la obra cubana se manifiesta sobre todo en la recreación de motivos y personajes de la antigua épica. Además, a través de la visión realista y humorística que ofrece sobre el mito antiguo, Fundora logra divertir al receptor, al tiempo que plantea diversas reflexiones sobre problemáticas actuales.
