Resum

The anecdotarium about Alexander the Great found its way into the Spanish comedia, notably in Lope de Vega's Las grandezas de Alejandro, the anonymous La mayor hazaña de Alejandro Magno and Calderón de la Barca's Darlo todo y no dar nada. The presumed encounter between the king of Macedonia and the philosopher Diogenes of Sinope was dramatized both by Lope de Vega and Calderón, with results which are examined, evaluated and compared in this paper, which also pays attention to the sources used and the interpretation and presentation of the cynical philosopher by the Baroque playwrights.
