This chapter discusses the dramatic recreation of the mythico-historic Ṣàngó, the most popularized Yoruba hero-deity in contemporary dramaturgy, using two dramatic texts – Duro Ladipọ’s Ọba Kòso and Ọladẹjọ Okediji’s Ṣàngó – as case study. I contend in the chapter that both Ladipọ and Okediji draw on folkloric materials about the personality of Ṣàngó preserved in mythological stories and legendary tales, Ifá divination poetry (Odù Ifá), and praise poetry/attributive epithets (oríkì) when creating their texts. My finding shows that the mythological and historical stories of Ṣàngó recorded by Samuel Johnson and Hethersett informed the dramatic creation of Okediji and Ladipọ, even though the two playwrights superimposed some aspects of the legendary stories of Ṣàngó drawn from the corpus of Odù Ifá (divination poetry) and Ṣàngó pípè (attributive epithets of Ṣàngó) on their recreation of the hero-deity. The chapter concludes that the representation of Ṣàngó that we have in both Ọba Kòso and Ṣàngó texts is not simply a literary creation of the playwrights, but a recreation of the mythological, legendary, and historical stories of the Yoruba hero-deity Ṣàngó.
