Abstract

The purpose of this research article is to study the discurse strategies used by Frederick Ahl in the academic paper entitled “The hand of God: Diego Maradona and the divine nature of cheating in Classical Antiquity”, establishing their convergences with certain poetic resources and rhetorical devices described by him in his researches on classical literature. I will try to prove how, in order to study the heroized goal of Maradona against England, the author sets up a larger interpretative framework, in which mythological references function as veiled allusions to the South Atlantic conflict.
