Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to show the role attributed to Leopoldo Lugones − and his texts published in the volume Filosofícula − in the formation of the textual modality called microrrelato (short short story). The paper’s other proposition is to give an image about some steps of these genre’s formation − from Modernism to our time − with the help of some rewritten versions of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, focusing mainly on the Argentinian author’s version.
