Apene, Dickson N. "Intertextuality: Allusion, Convention and Transformation in The Oresteia and Mourning Becomes Electra." Global Academic Journal of Linguistics and Literature 4, no. 4 (August 16, 2022): 97–104. http://dx.doi.org/10.36348/gajll.2022.v04i04.004.
Full textAbstract:
This article aims to show the relationship between the plays of O’Neill and his European counterpart, Aeschylus. O’Neill subscribes to Greek mythology but modifies or transforms it in the American scenario. Our study of the plays has considered the way meanings are constructed by a network of cultural and social discourses which embody distinct codes, expectations and assumptions. Besides, the thematic and linguistic similarities and differences between the works of the European and that of the American author selected have enabled the researcher to have an insight into literary influences and affinities. This article has demonstrated that there is no end in the making of texts, as O’Neill has revisited classical literature to write his play, Mourning Becomes Electra. This paper argues that intertextuality must not be limited to influences as Aeschylus had no direct influence on O’Neill though O’Neill rewrites his play The Oresteia. Both writers have no biographical similarities nor do they come from the same generations. O’Neill alludes to Aeschylus’s Greek mythological form of play writing but transforms it into the American scenario, through American Realism. To analyse these plays, the critical approach used was Postmodernism since interetxtuality is the major tenet of postmodernism. The paper concludes that, although O’Neill subscribes to Greek mythology, he deviates from European playwrights of this dramatic convention. His work has aspects of American Realism, and he is equally a social critic who writes about the ills that plague his society, in order to create awareness in his countrymen.

Reacting to the concerns expressed by Sue-Ellen Case and others that Greek tragedies were written by men and for men in a patriarchal society, and that the plays are misogynistic and should be ignored by feminists, this article considers how female directors and writers have continued to exploit characters such as Antigone, Medea, Clytemnestra and Electra to make a powerful statement about contemporary society.

Full textAbstract:
In the present study, two literary topics of love are introduced and its historical development is traced from the classical tradition to the modern culture. Also being studied is Eugene O'Neill's modern American tragedy, Electra Is Good for Mourning (1931). These topics consist of 'love for hate' and 'jealousy in love'. It is argued that both topics comprise four stages, originate in ancient Greek and Roman literature and evolve into modern culture, as in O'Neill's work, following tradition. Also, despite critics' belief that Electra is fine with mourningO'Neill's is based on the versions of Euripides, Sophocles and Aeschylus on the history of Orestes and Electra, the contextualization of these two topics follows the tradition of Homer's Iliad and Ovid 's Metamorphoses. Finally, this article studies the appearance of each mole on television and in contemporary world cinema, such as the British La Joven Jane Austen (2007), the Iranian Shahrzad Series (2015) and the American La La Land (2016).

Full textAbstract:
This study deals with the selected female characters from Greek Mythology. The selected female characters are analysed according to the trope Women in Refrigerator. Descriptive qualitative analysis has been employed in this study. The following female characters analysed in this study are Medea, Medusa, Arethusa, Andromeda, Danaë, Daphne, Eurydice, Antigone, Helen, and Cassandra. The aforementioned characters possess the trait of a fridged woman trope. These women have been, in one way, or another, killed, abused, and or depowered to serve the character of a male protagonist thereby reducing their characters as a plot device leaving no room for character development. This study is beneficial to enthusiasts of literature specifically the following: students, educators, and future researchers. This research will help readers to view female characters under the spotlight of the trope, Women in Refrigerator. The researcher suggests that authors be made aware of the aforementioned trope so that they do not compose their characters in this manner.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Myths and religion are belief systems centered around supernatural entities that attempt to explain the observed world and are of high importance to certain communities. The former is a collection of stories that belong to a cultural tradition and the latter are organized faiths that determine codes of ethics, rituals and philosophy. Deities or monstrous creatures in particular act as archetypes instructing an individual’s conduct. References to them in Greek mythology and Christianity are frequently manifested in the modern neurosurgical vernacular. Methods: A review of the medical literature was performed using the PubMed and MEDLINE bibliographic databases. Publications from 1875 to 2021 related to neurosurgery or neuroanatomy with the medical subject headings (MeSH) terms mythology, religion, Christianity and Catholicism were reviewed. References pertaining to supernatural beings were classified to either a deity or a monstrosity according to their conventional cultural context. Results: Twelve narratives associated with neurosurgery were identified, nine relating to Greek mythology and three associated with the Christian-Catholic faith. Eight accounts concerned deities and the remaining with monstrous creatures. Conclusion: This article explores the etymology of commonly utilized terms in daily neurosurgical practice in the context of mythology and religion. They reveal the ingenuity and creativity of early pioneers who strived to understand the brain.

Background. Educational games are nowadays used for facilitating the teaching and learning process of various subjects. History is one of the subjects that simulations and games are used for promoting active learning and supporting students in comprehending various history-related subjects. Aim. This article reports on a new educational game on Greek mythology, called MYTH TROUBLES, designed and developed from scratch with the aim of supporting primary school students in studying Greek mythology and raising their interest on the subject of history. Method. The article presents the educational rationale and design of MYTH TROUBLES in the context of an educational games design model proposed in the literature. Since the game was implemented with the platform of Scratch and it is available online both for students (or anyone interested in Greek Mythology) and game developers, some information for its implementation is also provided. The results of a pilot evaluation of MYTH TROUBLES with the help of 21 experienced school teachers are presented, along with proposals for improvement and extension of the game. Results. Teachers evaluated positively MYTH TROUBLES in terms of acceptability, usability, utility as an educational tool, as well as its interface and game play and expressed their willingness to use it in the classroom. Conclusions. MYTH TROUBLES is considered appropriate by teachers for supporting the teaching and learning of Greek mythology and assessing its educational value in class is the next step. Scratch is appropriate for implementing such educational games and sharing them with interested players and game developers.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines a series of Greek myths which establish a structural equivalence between two motifs, stoning and blinding; the two penalties either substitute for one another in alternative versions of a single story, or appear in sequence as repayments in kind. After reviewing other theories concerning the motives behind blinding and lapidation, I argue that both punishments-together with petrifaction and live imprisonment, which frequently figure alongside the other motifs-are directed against individuals whose crimes generate pollution. This miasma affects not only the perpetrator of the deed, but risks spreading to the community at large, and prompts measures aimed at containing the source of the disease. Both blinding and lapidation are designed to cordon off the contaminant by removing him from all visual and tactile contact with other men. But it is not only the nature of the crimes that explains the kinship between the two penalties. I further argue that the attributes Greek thinking assigned to stones, repeatedly characterized as unseeing, mute, immobile, and dry, and symbolic of the condition of the dead, elucidate the connections and clarify the antagonism that myth suggests between lapidation and sight. Stoning, blinding, imprisonment, and petrifaction all consign the criminal to an existence exactly parallel to that of the stone, stripping him of the properties that distinguish the living from the dead, and making him both unseeing and unseen. Three examples drawn from archaic and classical literature provide examples of these interactions between stones, blindness, invisibility, and death: the snake portent sent by Zeus in Book 2 of the Iliad, the Perseus myth, and Hermes' activity in both the Homeric Hymn to Hermes and Aeschylus' Choephoroe.

The article shows how hero as myth has become a popculture icon. In literature new model of ancient Greece hero represents Percy Jackson from Rick Riordan’s books about Olympians. Movie based on this novel shows how Greek mythology is popular. One of actors who played in this adaptation, Nathan Fillion, played also a hero a few times. These movies brought modern and different kind of superhero, for instance Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible Song-Along Blog (2008) or James Gunn’s Super (2010), which is similar to Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass (also 2010). A new hero is now an average person and proves that courage is more important than extrapowers. Blockbuster movies are popular on the net, where photos from scenes become memes. Greek mythology is still present in daily life in new, modern formula.

Full textAbstract:
It is hardly controversial to assert that recent work on Greek mythology is methodologically diverse. However, there is one body of writing which seems to have become a reference point against which scholars of many persuasions–not excluding orthodox positivist philologists and adherents of psychoanalysis–feel the need to define their own position. I mean structuralism. G.S. Kirk and, later, W. Burkert have conducted their dialogues with it; C. Segal and more unreconstructedly R. Caldwell have tried to accommodate Lévi-Strauss and Freud under the same blanket; a glance at bibliographical citations in studies of tragedy over the last twenty years will show how J.-P. Vernant and P. Vidal-Naquet have moved from the periphery to the centre (much as Finley did some time ago in ancient history). The polemical attitudes being struck by M. Detienne (from within the movement) and C. Calame are directly generated by over-confident structuralist attempts to map out the mental territory they claimed as their own.

Full textAbstract:
Of all known ancient authors writing in Greek, Philo of Alexandria is the one and related terms and concepts (the apostle Paul comes next, more or less). Something similar may only be found in Latin authors speaking of conscientia, like Cicero. This needs an explanation. After discussing some relevant passages from Philo's writings, with special stress on the texts from scriptures exposed by him, analogies in wisdom literature and in Graeco-Roman rhetoric and mythology are indicated. The following solution is proposed: Philo combines the punishing Furies (cf Cicero) and the benevolent guardian spirit (c. Seneca) of Graeco-Roman mythology and philosophy with the personified reproof from Jewish Wisdom literature, and so he creates a concept that helps him to give a visual description of the strict but nevertheless kind guidance God practices on man.

Aim:The aim of this paper is to explore the relational aspect of supervision from a psychoanalytic perspective.Rationale:In keeping with a psychoanalytic approach, the relational aspect of supervision has been explored through experiential learning and recourse to the literature. Greek mythology has been used to stimulate reflection.Findings:The theoretical concepts of an internal supervisor, projective identification and containment have been used to describe how the supervisory relationship can support development and tolerating complexity and uncertainty.Limitations:This paper describes the author’s experiential learning, informed by psychoanalytic theory, in reference to a particular supervisor-supervisee relationship. The argument is developed within this context.Conclusion:It is argued that, trans-theoretically, the relational aspect of supervision merits a greater emphasis in research, practice and professional guidelines.

The paper concerns some crucial issues of theology and cosmogony of the Yezidis, which have distinct parallels in the writings of the ancient Greeks. A startling coincidence of certain topics and the manner of approach can lead to the conclusion that the Yezidi theology and mythology seem to have a distant genetic relationship with the Greek theology, or―which is also possible―we are dealing with distinct independent inscriptions of the same ideas, meaning here the highest factors governing the world. The paper also contains references to similar topics in the literature of Early Christianity and Gnosticism.

Full textAbstract:
Language is the carrier of culture and culture nourishes language. According to statistics, 56% of the commonly used 10,000 English words are adopted from Latin and ancient Greek, which are the carrier languages of Roman civilization and Greek civilization respectively. Greco-Roman mythology, with its rich cultural connotation, permeates all aspects of people's social life in English-speaking countries and becomes a source of vitality for the expansion of English vocabulary. Etymology, the scientific study of the origin of words, is crucial in English vocabulary teaching, as etymological study improves vocabulary learning. This paper adopts the methodology of literature research to gather materials about English vocabulary teaching methods, etymology theory, and Greco-Roman mythological origin of English vocabulary. In order to better explain the cultural connotation of words in English vocabulary teaching, this paper proposes method of applying Greco-Roman mythology learning in English vocabulary teaching, and classifies English vocabulary into four forms according to etymological motivation: direct use, metaphorical use, semantic transfer and derivation from the perspective of Greco-Roman mythological origin, thus stimulating English learners' interest and improving the efficiency of both teaching and learning.

Full textAbstract:
The article proposes a typology of female characters of ancient literature. The typology is based on the dominant categories of «moral» (expressed by the dichotomy of «moral – immoral»), «heroic» («achievement – offence») and «aesthetic» («beautiful – ugly»). Through the prism of mythology, the semantics of the figurative gallery «woman-character» and «woman-author» reflects the specifics of the position of women in the ancient world. Misogyny is typical for the male world of antiquity. This determined the emphasis in the interpretation of women's masks, which were mainly given the role of the object of erotic posing. This, however, does not diminish the reception potential of female images of ancient origin in the subsequent world literary discourse.

Abstract In the study, I provide a comparative overview of the aesthetical debate that took place at the turn of the 18th and 19th century in Germany and Denmark concerning the use of the Old Norse versus the classical mythology in literature. I discuss Johann Gottfried Herder’s ideas on this topic, expressed in his work Vom neuern Gebrauch der Mythologie (1767) and especially in his dialogue Iduna oder der Apfel der Verjüngung (1796), with focus on the following question: Does the rejuvenating potential of the Norse myth as suggested by Herder in Iduna, allow any room for the classical inspirations in modern literature? Herder’s view will provide a starting point of the comparison for the cultural situation in Denmark where the University of Copenhagen announced in 1800 a prize question on aesthetics “Would it benefit Northern polite literature if ancient Northern mythology were introduced and generally accepted by our poets in place of its Greek counterpart?”. The entries in this contest represented the view of the younger generation, namely Adam Oehlenschläger, Jens Møller and Ludvig Stoud Platou. I summarize their views and examine Herder’s influence on the debate.

Full textAbstract:
In his first play, Une Manière d'Antigone (1975), Patrick Chamoiseau brings together Greek mythology and the history of Martinique. This article compares this version with the Sophoclean version, considering the transformations made by the Martinican playwright in terms of time and space, plot, characters and language so as to determine how different or similar the Caribbean Antigone is from her Greek sister. By adapting a famous Greek myth on the Antillean stage, Chamoiseau realizes a literary transposition while reaffirming his strong political opposition towards France. This play inscribes itself in the vast movement of subversion and contestation of the classic literary tradition by postcolonial writers who create their own literature based on the adaptation of Western classics. Chamoiseau's rewriting of the Antigone myth allows for a reappropriation and a revalorization of a forgotten history. Additionally, it presents an assertion of resistance and a plea for emancipation from both literary and political domination.

There are many examples in Greek and Arab literature where poetry is believed to have connections with divinity, possession, or even madness. The paper will try to show what Greeks and Arabs thought about the origin and the creation of poetry. It will attempt to show how early mythology and legends of both assign a supernatural or abnormal source to poetry. References from these two cultures will show the similarity in some theories like that of muses and supernatural beings, helping the poet achieve his goal. In order to show the similarity, many Greek and Arab philosophers/poets shall be referred to in the discussion. The methodology used shall be descriptive and analytical in nature.

Full textAbstract:
In the mid of the twentieth century, French Existentialism was a predominant doctrine that significantly enriched and influenced the literary scene in Europe during the Post-War area. Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980), the founder of Existentialism, is both a professional philosopher and a talented man of letters whose literary achievements represent a declarative embodiment of his Existentialist philosophy. In his 1943 drama, The Flies (Les Mouches), Sartre puts the Greek myth into a drastically innovative structure, where contemporary issues and values are presented through classical outlines. The current study aims to present a critical analysis of Sartre's depiction of the Electra/Orestes myth in The Flies through demonstrating how Greek mythology becomes an essential substructure of the play's Existentialistic framework, on the one hand, and questioning the credibility of the Sartrean concept of freedom and commitment, as illustrated in the play, on the other hand. The study utilizes the Existentialist philosophy as a theoretical framework in order to elucidate that the Sartrean conception of freedom and commitment is paradoxically antithetical. The research investigates how Orestes has been theoretically free and the extent to which he strives, throughout the drama, to transform this abstract freedom into a concrete experience by committing himself to a specific action: murdering Aegisthus and Clytemnestra. However, as the study proves, this Existentialist freedom becomes an illusion in the sense that Orestes' commitment to the Argives makes him a captive of society; by choosing commitment, he dismisses his freedom. The researcher has chosen "Freedom" and "Commitment" as the main topic of the present study in order to expose Sartre's existentialistic awareness of modern human beings' dilemma under the influence of all forms of aggression and highlight the discrepancy between theoretical philosophy and real-life experiences. The study adopts an interdisciplinary analytical approach where myth, philosophy, and drama are dovetailed and fused in order to expand the scope of the analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The paper deals with a Greek myth adopted by modern scholars, which is hypothetically treated not as an authentic picture of antiquity, but philosophical construct, developed by early German romantics on the basis of Kantian discourse. The myth-narration was understood as a way of mental transformation of the hostile environment (embodied by the rite of human sacrifice) in terms of its humanization, aesthetization, heroization, intellectualization; the purpose of individual existence was interpreted as a unity of nature, society and the person, immersion in the ‘myth-environment’ being a condition for such unity. A further evolution of the myth took place due to civilizational shifts in Europe, which ‘fragmented’ human unity and destroyed the original unity of mythology. The modernist myth (Joyce, Messiaen, Bachelard) gave place to deintellectualization, particularization and desocialization of public life that urged to turn towards the blind nature ‘before civilization’ and stimulated indifference about the last preceding stages of culture. The life force was understood as returning to pure instinct that indicates the presence of nature in man. The distinction between sophisticated connoisseurs of culture and the bourgeois ‘mass’ became especially sharp; the ‘myth’ got really destructed by transferring it from actual life to the setting of everyday comfort, bypassing the spiritual state of the individual. The ‘myth of intertextuality’ (book myth, new-Alexandrian myth) is characteristic of the period of decline, as it is oriented not towards a living person and ‘life force’, but towards narration. This tendency was most vividly reflected in N. Frye’s mythological theory (about literature as myth-making).

Full textAbstract:
Pasolini's Appunti per un’Orestiade africana (1970) is a metaphorical film, inspired by the Greek legend of Orestes, in which Pasolini views postcolonial African history through the lens of mythology. His portrait of the birth of “modern” Africa is an attempt to narrate the passage from past to present and to salvage "prehistory" through his dream of the unification of the rational, democratic state and the irrational, primal slate of being. It is, however, a dream punctuated by contradictions and paradoxes, a dream which Pasolini will later abandon. Yet it is significant in the overall development of Pasolini's genre.

A Paper on life after death in the early church should probably begin with the underworld: Sheol in the Hebrew Bible, Hades, in Greek mythology, with parallels in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Persia. It should reflect on the universally connected theme of judgment and its importance for theodicy, and address the wide variety of beliefs discernible in the New Testament and its background, especially in the apocalyptic literature. It should consider the so-called intermediate state, and the supposed distinction between the Greek concept of the immortality of the soul and the Hebrew idea of resurrection: which takes us full circle, since the latter notion assumes the picture of shades in the underworld brought back to full-bodied living – as indeed the traditional Anastasis icon of the Eastern Orthodox tradition makes dramatically clear, Christ springing up from the grave and hauling Adam up with one hand and, often though not invariably, Eve with the other.

AbstractThe first part of the article deals with the national myths of Canada. It demonstrates that the long-time supposed lack of myths in Canada may itself be regarded as a myth. After presenting useful meanings of the term myth, the intersections of myth/mythology and gender are considered, both in Canadian culture and in Greek mythology. Linking Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey—the canonized beginnings of Western literature and their foundation on ancient myth—with Canadian culture, Margaret Atwood’s works and their treatment of ancient and social myths are then focussed on, particularly her revisionist rewriting of Homer’s Odyssey in her novel The Penelopiad (2005). This women-centered rewriting of the originally male-dominated story starts from two issues: what led to the hanging of the 12 maids, and what was Penelope really up to? Among the results are an intriguing re-conception of the original main characters, an upgrading of female domestic life, and a debunking not only of Odysseus and his supposedly heroic deeds but also of the authority of ancient myths where precarious not least concerning their conception of gender and gender relations.

Abstract. Whilst hydrology is a Greek term, it was not in use in the Classical literature, but much later, during the Renaissance, in its Latin form, hydrologia. On the other hand, Greek natural philosophers (or, in modern vocabulary, scientists) created robust knowledge in related scientific areas, to which they gave names such as meteorology, climate and hydraulics. These terms are now in common use internationally. Greek natural philosophers laid the foundation for hydrological concepts and the hydrological cycle in its entirety. Knowledge development was brought about by searches for technological solutions to practical problems as well as by scientific curiosity. While initial explanations belong to the sphere of mythology, the rise of philosophy was accompanied by the quest for scientific descriptions of the phenomena. It appears that the first geophysical problem formulated in scientific terms was the explanation of the flood regime of the Nile, then regarded as a paradox because of the spectacular difference from the river flow regime in Greece, i.e. the fact that the Nile flooding occurs in summer when in most of the Mediterranean the rainfall is very low. While the early attempts were unsuccessful, Aristotle was able to formulate a correct hypothesis, which he tested through what appears to be the first scientific expedition in history, in the transition from the Classical to Hellenistic periods. The Hellenistic period brought advances in all scientific fields including hydrology, an example of which is the definition and measurement of flow discharge by Heron of Alexandria. These confirm the fact that the hydrological cycle was well understood in Ancient Greece, yet it poses the question why correct explanations were not accepted and, instead, why ancient and modern mythical views were preferred up to the 18th century.

In ancient prehistoric times of the beginning of 20th century, Arabic world in general and Egypt in particular was thought to be the hub of knowledge and political practices. The basic political approach was to prevent foreign invaders from getting into Arab world and to maintain their own national sanctity. In this regards, one of the most prominent literary figures in Arab world is Tawfiq al-Hakim. This paper is a literature review of Al Hakim' literary contribution and thus, the main conclusion obtained from this is that Tawfiq al-Hakim has a significant position in maintaining true quintessence of literature in terms of tragedy because he kept the religion alive in his dramas and literary figures. He denied the fact that Islamic cultural civilization has to be ignored in order to understand the essence of Greek mythology. Only if there was a bond developed between the cultures of Islam and Greeks, it would have enriched not only Arabic but European cultural boundaries as well. He also went against the concept of the fact that Islam cannot sustain the tragic events because they believe in the concept of predestination.

Full textAbstract:
Water in Arabic literature has literal and symbolic meanings. Water is one of the four elements in Greek mythology; life would be impossible without water and it is a synonym for life; life originated in water. Springs, wells, rain, seas, snow, and swamps are all associated with water. Each form of water may take on a different manifestation of the original from which it comes about. Arabic literature employs the element of water in poetry, the short story, and the novel. We find it in titles of poems: Unshudat al-matar (Hymn of the Rain) and Waj’ al-ma’ (The Pain of Water); and novels: Dhakirat al-ma’ (The Memory of Water); Taht al-matar (Under the Rain); Matar huzayran (June Rain); Al-Bahr khalf al-sata’ir (The Seas Behind the Curtains); Rahil al-bahr (Departure of the Sea); and many others. This study aims to answer the following questions: How does the element of water manifest in Arabic literature? What are the semantics and symbolism of the different forms of water in the literary imaginary? The study refers to six different significations for water in classical and modern Arabic literature: water as synonymous with life, purity and the revelation of truth, separation and death, fertility and sex, land and homeland, and talent and creativity.

We examine the concept of team performance and propose a framework to understand patterns of change over time. Following a literature review on team performance (focusing on empirical articles published between 2007 and 2017) and drawing on Greek and Roman mythology, we identify five team performance trajectories: “Jupiter” (consistently high performing), “Neptune” (relatively steady, average performance), “Pluto” (low performing), “Icarus” (initially high performing, with a downward spiral), and “Odysseus” (initially low to midrange performing, with an upward spiral), which we refer to as “team performance archetypes.” We discuss how they might be used in conjunction with growth modeling methodology to help facilitate theory building and data collection/analysis with respect to team performance. In addition, we discuss the future research implications associated with using the archetypes to help conceptualize patterns of team performance over time.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines narrative strategies in their historical dynamics. It singles out the so-called narrative worldview and the ethos of narrativity as basic parameters of a narrative strategy. Heroic legends and fairy tales inherited a precedent worldview and the ethos of peace from mythology. The post-mythological development of religious consciousness leads to a narrative strategy of the parable type that implies an imperative world model and prescriptive ethos, as implemented, for example, in the Old Testament. The narrative strategy of the New Testament stands out due to the constructive combination of the precedent worldview and a fundamentally new ethos of personal solidarity. The practice of telling jokes and ancient Greek adventure novels develop a circumstantial world model and the ethos of self-realization. Finally, the classic novel explores the probabilistic worldview and becomes a basis of several new narrative strategies that vary in their ethos.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Challenges to rhetoric’s canon often occur under the rubric of revising that canon and its foundational, shared meaning. Read through the strategies of deconstruction, the secret offers a common ground for recanonizing approaches by centering either a concealed quantity in ancient rhetoric’s granular archive (the secret in discourse) or an unfolding idea whose transformation has rendered it unrecognizable to its original version (the secret of discourse). This article draws on Jacques Derrida’s “White Mythology” (1974) and A Taste for the Secret (2001) before addressing how the secret’s registers in and of discourse animate de- and recanonizing readings of ancient Greek and Roman rhetoric. Its implications address scholars distressed by the durable forms of oppression ensconced in rhetoric’s ancient canon.

Full textAbstract:
The article contains a commented publication of a fragment from the unpublished work of a Sinologist Wolfram Eberhard (1909–1989) “Über die Erzählungen des Dede Korkut” (“On the legends of” “Dede Korkut”). “The Book of Dede Korkut” always was the object of particular interest to scholars engaged in comparative research and typology of folklore. It is generally accepted that the formation of some of the legends, included in “Kitab-i Dedem Korkut”, was strongly influenced by both the Byzantine, Greek folklore, and archaic plots of the earlier period, what became the starting point of the research in W. Eberhard’s unpublished work. An important feature of Eberhard’s work distinguishing it from the actual Turkological studies of “ The Book of Korkut” and Turkish folklore in general, is an attempt to make comparisons with Greek myths, many monuments of the Indian and Persian literary tradition, thus placing the Oghuz epic in the broad context of the history of world literature. The published excerpt dwells with the legend of the possessed Domrul as part of the Turkish book epic “The Book of Dede Korkut”, its origin and parallels with the ancient mythology and plots of the “Ocean of Legends” by Somadeva and “Mahabharata”.

Full textAbstract:
This article deals with the paradoxical situation associated with the use of the term “Charon’s obol” in modern archaeological discourse. The term “Charon’s obol” turned into an unspoken normative historiographical rule and an “indisputable” explanatory model. At the same time, the term itself is essentially “empty”, and does not need to be argued, being the evidence arising from the “natural” logic of archaeological research. Archaeological discourse turns the discovery of “Charon’s obol” into a “natural” inevitability. Almost any coin (of any material and value) of ancient and early Middle Ages found in Europe, Scandinavia, the Far East, or Central Asia, is usually declared “Charon’s obol” by researchers. Surprisingly, the further the region is located from the ancient Greek poleis, the more coins dedicated to Charon archaeologists find. Moreover, in historiography, Charon has become an unambiguous symbol not only of ancient Greek book mythology, but also of the entire ancient Greek culture. The paradox of the situation is that Charon, the ideas of the researchers about whom constitute the content of the term, did not need coins, and the “ancient Greek funeral rite” which the authors appeal to as a model of “payment to Charon” did not imply any payments to Charon. The term is a result of uncritical reading of ancient classical literature. The term “Charon’s obol” cannot be filled with content, but is an artificial ideological construction related to the research tradition based on the ideas of European Romanticism (concepts of I. I. Winkelman and I. V. Goethe).

The article takes cognitive approach to precedent phenomena studies. The sources of precedentiality in detective discourse are Greek and Roman mythology, the Bible, folklore texts, Shakespeare’s texts and classical European literature. In the analyzed texts universal-precedent and national-precedent phenomena of all the types are presented. Precedent names actualize precedent situations or act as namessymbols, precedent utterances appeal to precedent texts as reference standards. The analyzed material lets us deduce that incorporating Shakespearean, biblical and mythological topics, characters and images into detective texts is determined by authors’ intention to improve the status of their works as well as by universality of these topics and their criminal nature. Analyzing the sources of precedentiality within the cognitive approach may be of interest for studying transformations that take place within the genres based on the system-forming concepts.

Abstract A mysterious part of our physical and psychological models of the world is Time. Its cognitive representation has evolved from Mythology through Literature to Physics. In ancient times, it was Kala of the Indo-Europeans, Chronos of the Greek gods, and the Kirke of Odyssey whose world could make heroes forget about anything. Then came Renaissance, the gradual awakening of the Time of Soul, the swing of philosophical mind between material and ideal worlds, its acceleration to the Relativity of Einstein, and the recent collapse on the Quantum Theory and to new biocentric passages. Shakespeare’s world of human mind and characters is so diverse and opulent, that anyone can find and emulate natural and supernatural phenomena in it, getting food for philosophical, psychological contemplation and even ideas for quantum-physical speculations. The truth is that Time molds the world of matter with the subjective world of human dreams and deeds.

The aim of this article is to find the sources of images of the Inner Sea Lands gods in Anna Brzezińska’s “Saga of Twardokęsek the Brigand”. The author presents the most important features of these characters, their most recognizable actions and attributes, comparing them with possible prototypes derived from Greek, Roman, Scandinavian, Slavic, and Hindu mythology, as well as Christianity. She points out that the gods in Brzezińska’s saga, although worshipped, are not omnipotent and do not possess full creative powers. They turn out to be only slightly more powerful than their off spring, the fruit of their relationships with humans — witches. Shaping human fates, they are only able to recreate ancient patterns over and over again and are subject to a higher power (similarly to how the Greek gods were subject to Fatum). In their images, we can also find traces of inspiration from the classic mythopoetic fantasy, especially Ursula K. Le Guin’s series about the Earthsea. Thus, these images can be seen as a magical-religious mosaic, which evokes associations with the considerations of classical anthropology on the relations between magic and religion. The author also puts forward the hypothesis about treating these images as a metaphor for the process of creating literature, especially in its original, oral form.

Abstract The following study discusses Europe’s identity focussing upon questions such as how Europa’s destiny-the next of kin from Greek mythology-has influenced that of the continent, the relationship between Europe and its nations or Europe’s role in the world. According to French anthropologist Annick de Souzenelle. there is a lunar, that is female and a solar, that is a male side to both Europa and Europe but whereas the mythical figure failed to find and integrate the opposite within herself, Europe does still have the opportunity to discover its solar aspects and reach unity within itself and the world as a whole. Apart from the theory the present paper also tries to give examples from different fields of study such as politics, philosophy and literature, which shall underline Europe’s fe/male identity and role. e. g. Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain Speech. Jose Ortega y Gasset’s Meditation on Europe. Sándor Márai’s Europe’s Abduction or Czeszlaw Milosz’s Native Realm.

The article analyzes the transcriptions of ancient myths in the work of the modern German writer Steffen Marciniak. The reasons for his appeal to ancient Greek mythology, its plots, motives and images are clarified, the author’s intentions and ways of their artistic embodiment (interpretation) in a specific text are fixed. The analysis is carried out with the involvement of the reception history of ancient myths in the German-speaking cultural space. Within the framework of historical-literary and historical-comparative analysis, the Russian language context is involved. The transcriptions-retellings-interpretations by Marciniak of original ancient mythological storylines are analyzed both from the point of view of the problem and thematic scope, and the plot, structural and compositional particulars of the writer’s texts. The connection of Marciniak’s works with the peculiarities of his biography, personal psychological and ideological, as well as artistic and aesthetic orientations is traced. It reveals that the main theme, that excites the writer and forms the basis of his plots, becomes the core of interpretation and refers to tradition. Based on the analysis, an attempt is made to determine the specifics of the individual poetics of the writer, to fit it into the general context of German literature of the XX-XXI century.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the mythological sub-text as one of the connective means in the novel trilogy by Goncharov. The author of the article assumes that the creative thinking of Goncharov’s is epic and his understanding of world literary types can be seen as the basis for the theory of literary archetypes. The novelty of the approach to the sources is justified by the aim of the article, the latter being to show the reflection of the evolution of the author’s mythological thinking in his creating the literary archetypes by using various mythological and folk sources. Analysis of the mythological sub-text in the novel “A Common Story” allows to say that the author applied mainly the European tradition of the ancient myths, namely the myth of Oedipus to the modern life in Russia. Viewing “Frigate ‘Pallada’ ” the author of the article concludes that Goncharov returned from the world-wide journey “more Russian” than he had been before. Thus in the novels “Oblomov” and “The Precipice” he used not only the European cultural tradition but also the Slavonic mythology and Russian folklore. The result of his turning to the fairy-tale and Russian literature was the appearance of the archetype images of Oblomov and oblomovism and that of gown in his creative work. “The bylina sub-text” in the novel “The Precipice” helps to understand the rivalry of the atheist Mark Volokhov with the proponent of “the old truth” Tushin as the fight of the Russian epic hero with the serpent. The analysis of Goncharov’s articles of 1870s allows one to see his wish to create the archetype images of the characters from the Russian life. Arguing with A.I. Zhuravleva’s opinion that Goncharov did not manage to fulfill this task in “The Precipice”, the author of the article proves that the image of grandmother has come into the national consciousness as an archetype. It has direct connection with the archetype of the village that came into being in the Russian literature of XIX–XX centuries.

The Influence of Ancient Greek Culture on Macedonian Literature of the 19th CenturyIn Macedonia under the Ottoman rule during the nineteenth century, the Macedonian people-the nation is subject to political pressure and the cultural influence of Turkey and other countries. Under the influence of propaganda leading by Athens and education politics in the area of contemporary Republic of Macedonia, some Macedonian militant intellectuals embraced, at the same time, were influenced by romanticism and the Old-Greek culture, which strongly affect their literary works. In this context, two authors are viewed as the most significant-Jordan Hadji Murad Konstantinov Džinot and Grigor Prlichev. Džinot is the author of dramatized dialogue inspired by the classic Greek mythology, at the school, where he is a teacher. On the pages of the press he announces the publication of its ancient-themed dramas, however, for unknown reasons, none of them does not appear in print. Prlichev well knew the Old-Greek and is an admirer of the works of Homer. Influenced by the poetry of Homer writes in an epic poem in the archaized Greek. Wpływ starogreckiej kultury na literaturę macedońską w XIX wiekuW ramach imperium osmańskiego, którego częścią jest Macedonia w ciągu XIX wieku, macedoński lud-naród podlega politycznej presji i wpływom kulturowym ze strony Turcji i innych państw. Pod wpływem propagandy, którą prowadzą Ateny i która wyraża się m.in. w zakładaniu swoich szkół w Macedonii, niektórzy macedońscy intelektualiści, ogarnięci w tym samym czasie wpływami romantyzmu poznają kulturę starogrecką, co silnie wpłynie na ich twórczość literacką. W tym kontekście wybijają się dwie najbardziej znaczące postaci – Jordan Hadži Konstantinov-Džinot i Grigor Prličev. Džinot jest autorem dramatyzowanych dialogów inspirowanych klasyczną, starogrecką mitologią, wystawianych w szkole, w której sam jest nauczycielem. Na łamach prasy zapowiada publikację swoich dramatów o tematyce antycznej, jednak z niewiadomych przyczyn żaden z nich nie pojawia się w druku. Prličev dobrze zna starogrecki i jest znawcą twórczości Homera. Pod wpływem poezji Homera pisze w archaizowanym języku greckim poemat epicki zatytułowany ‛Ο 'Aρματωλός (w macedońskim przekładzie Сердарот albo Мартолозот), który przynosi mu zwycięstwo w konkursie poetyckim w Atenach w 1860 roku. Jego drugie dzieło epickie zatytułowane Σκενδέρμπεης jest napisane także w duchu poezji Homera, głównie jeśli chodzi o styl (epitety i porównania) i kompozycję (opracowanie typowych dla eposu motywów tematycznych). Obydwaj są także tłumaczami, Džinot zapowiada w prasie przekład Antygony Sofoklesa, o losach przekładu nic nam nie wiadomo, a Prličev dokonuje poetyckiego przekładu Iliady Homera na wymyślony przez siebie język, który jest w istocie mieszanką języków słowiańskich, a sam autor nazywa go "ogólnosłowiańskim". Влијанието на старогрчката култура врз македонската литература во XIX–иот векВо рамките на Турската Империја од која Македонија е дел во текот на 19-иот, македонскиот народ е изложен на политичка пресија и културното влијание и на Турција и на некои соседни држави. Под влијание на пропагандата на владата во Атина која отвора свои школи во Македонија, а во исто време и зафатени од бранот на романтизам, некои македонски интелектуалци се запознаваат со старогрчката култура што ќе остави силен печат врз нивното литературно творештво. Во тој поглед се издвојуваат две најзначајни имиња – Јордан Хаџи Константинов Џинот и Григор Прличев.Џинот се јавува со драмски дијалози инспирирани од класичната старогрчка митологија кои се изведуваат на приредбите во школите во кои тој е учител, а во печатот најавува објавување на свои драми со античка тематика кои, од непознати причини, не се појавиле.Прличев е добро образован во старогрчкиот јазик и особено добар познавач на Хомер. Под влијание на хомерската поезија, тој пишува на еден архаизиран грчки јазик епска поема под наслов ‛Ο ’Aρματωλός (во македонски превод Серадот или Мартолозот) и со неа победува на поетскиот конкурс во Атина 1860 година.Второто негово епско дело под наслов Σκενδέρμπεης исто така е напишано во духот на хомерската поезија и тоа се гледа главно во областа на стилот (епитети и споредби) и во композицијата (обработка на типични епски теми). На преведувачки план, Џинот најавува во печатот превод на трагедијата Антигона од Софокле, дело чија судбина исто така не ни е позната, а Прличев пишува препев на Хомеровата Илијада на еден посебен јазик кој претставува смеса од словенските јазици, а самиот автор го нарекува „општословенски“.

Full textAbstract:
Chronologically, S.D. Krzyzhanovsky’s work coincides with the time of the heyday of Russian modernism. The cultural and aesthetic heritage of the “Silver Age” had a significant influence on the formation of the writer’s artistic views. Krzyzhanovsky is in many ways a follower of the traditions of the Symbolists poets. From them, he borrows the idea of myth making. In his works, the author of “Tales for Prodigies” reinterprets traditional mythological subjects and images. The Ancient Greek myths, the Bible, fairy tales of “A Thousand and One Night” and other literary sources can be identi-fied as intertextual pretexts. By using them, he creates his own individual mythology. And for more than twenty years, the main scientific work related to the study of Krzyzhanovsky’s prose is the work of V. Toporov “Minus”-Space of Sigismund Krzyzhanovsky. The Toporov’s article explains the occur-rence of the “minus”-space in the artistic world of the writer. This problem has always remained out-side the scope of scientific research, both in Russian and foreign literature.
