Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / to do a Lazarus

[habiéndoles hecho la de] Lázaro
Explanation:
Supongo que no solo necesitas traducir "lazarus", que es simplísimo, sino retener el registro de "doing a Lazarus on them". Por eso sugiero entre paréntesis como encararlo.

Entiendo que no sería necesario aclarar en la traducción que se trata de una resucitación, porque es como sabido por todo el mundo el simbolismo del nombre Lázaro, y habría que conservarlo para no perder el "flavor".
