Abstract:
The Oedipus complex of Freud is based on the inevitability of the tragic fate of a man who fled his home to escape the prophecy of parricide. Thus, he fulfilled it by killing a stranger who proved to be his father. As Freud does, this consideration of the tragedy of Oedipus takes as its point of departure the inevitability of the confrontation between father and son. Where Freud looks to the son, however, I look to the father, who set the tragedy in motion by attempting to murder his infant son. Themes ignored in developmental theory but axiomatic in gerontology are considered in this study of

In this tragedy by Sophocles, the real theme is the treatment of "prey women" and their influence on the psychological family situation and society in classical Athens. "The Women of Trachis" as well as "Oedipus Rex" and "Oedipus on Colonus" show what an enormously perceptive, in today's terms, psychologist and sociologist Sophocles was. In the fifth century BC, many wars were waged in Greece and prisoners were turned into slaves. Classical Greece thrived on slavery, which also included so-called prey woman. In Th

The facts of Gogol's appeal to the models of classical forms of myth and ritual are interesting not only by themselves but also in the aspect of their relationship with the arsenal of Christian mythology. The fundamental point here is that in light of the historical interpretation of the myth and the Revelation by F. W. J. Schelling, the mythology since its initial stage organically developed to Christianity, to the truths of Revelation (as the historical movement “flowed” into them).

Abstract:
Abstract Romanian composers’ interest in Greek mythology begins with Enescu’s peerless masterpiece – lyrical tragedy Oedipe (1921-1931). The realist-postromantic artistic concept is materialised in the insoluble link between text and music, in the original synthesis of the most expressive compositional means recorded in the tradition of the genre and the openness towards acutely modern elements of musical language. The Romanian opera composed in the knowledge of George Enescu’s score, which premiered in Bucharest in 1958, reflect an additional interest in mythological subject-matter in the poe

Abstract:
Myths provide insight both into the cultural aspects of human societies and the psychological motivations behind human actions, drives, urges, dreams and fantasies. Myths illustrate how the ancient people make sense of their existence, creation, the working of the earth, natural events and catastrophes. They also provide symbolic representations and projections of desired attainments, relations, bodies and institutions in human culture. In this sense, wishfulfillment can be considered one of the fundamental functions of myths. Important psychoanalysts such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung also e

Abstract:
Abstract Everyone is familiar with some Greek myths: that Oedipus solved the riddle of the Sphinx and married his mother, that the Argonauts sailed away in search of the Golden Fleece. Many poeple know that there is a large modern literature about mythology, from Sir James Frazer’s Golden Bough and Robert Graves’s Greek Myths to the dense and complex accounts given by Claude Levi-Strauss and the Structuralists. Myth is a very attractive subject, but the immense disagreements of the experts show that it is also a very difficult one. It was a brilliant stroke of George Eliot to show the learned Mr Casaubon, in Middlemarch, struggling to write a Key to all Mythologies, swamped and overwhelmed by masses of material on which he could not impose any intelligible order.

Abstract:
Abstract The previous chapter traced the influence of Athenian ideals on Euripides’ reinvention of the myth of Heracles’ madness. Theseus’ encounter with Heracles is almost certainly Euripides’ own extension of older traditions of Athenian hospitality to distressed suppliants, so as to include Greece’s greatest hero in the list of clients of Athens. In Oedipus at Colonus, Sophocles takes the process of Athenian reinvention even further. Although Oedipus, like Heracles, is a well-established figure in Greek mythology, he has no close or early connections with Attica, and the help Athens gives to him has no roots in mainstream Greek tradition. Sophocles’ account may instead be seen as a kind of local variant of the Oedipus story, whose primary interest is for Athenians. Moreover, Oedipus is a figure whose appalling crimes had perhaps previously made any help or resolution of his sufferings unthinkable. The daring of Sophocles in suggesting that he could be welcomed into the city is akin to the daring of Athens in the face of danger that is emphasized in the Athenian encomia. The mythological expansionism which claims for Athens a share in non-Athenian myths, and even resolution of their problems by a virtuous representative of the city is, perhaps, akin to Athenian territorial expansionism and its justification in terms of the justice and Tollµ,a of Athens (cf. Thuc. 2. 41. 4).

Abstract:
Abstract There is nothing peculiarly modern about the problem of identity. It is almost as old as recorded history. Certainly, the Bible contains many instances of concern with ethnic and social identity, individual and collective. Jacob’s simulation of his brother Esau’s identity, Ruth’s determination to exchange her Moabite for an Israelite identity and Jonah’s assertion of his Hebrew identity despite his refusal to accept his prophetic mission, are among the better-known examples. Ancient Greek mythology, too, reveals a strong interest in problems of social identity; Ion, Theseus, and, in more tragic vein, Orestes all suffer from self-doubt or internal conflicts. Perhaps the most celebrated of these cases was Oedipus, who in the course of Sophocles’ play, runs through several wouldbe identities, only to stand revealed as a parricide, husband of his mother, brother of his sons and daughters, and a Theban after all.

Abstract:
From the Oracle of Dodona to modern GPS, mediation and migration have been closely interrelated. In fact, migration can be conceptualized as passage through a complex field of decisions (junctions, entries, exits, obstacles, connections) whose every bifurcation is coupled to a medium to direct the migrant in her path. This chapter discusses this nexus between manticism and narratives of migration with regard to Greek mythology. In this respect, the shipwrecked alien Odysseus depends on a series of media; he descends to the underworld to consult the seer Tiresias as to how to operate in what Michel Serres calls a precultural topology of seams and fissures (the notorious vagueness of such auguries reflects both the uncertainties of migration and the rate of noise in media transmissions). Similarly, Oedipus’ visit at the Oracle of Delphi constitutes a crucial point in the mythological discourse as well as the protagonist’s topographical parcourse; it transforms the territory into a field of connections, alternatives, decisions, and catastrophes—a ‘tragic landscape’, which George Hadjimichalis’s installation Schiste Odos translates into various techniques of representation (scale models, maps, oil paintings, aerial photographs). Finally, such medializations also touch the migrant’s body. Derrida describes Oedipus at Colonus as a figure of transference and placelessness—marked, in Sophocles, by the unknown location of his grave—who nevertheless allows the founding of a new community, thus exhibiting the foreign as a politically and culturally creative factor.
