Ancient Myths in the Mirror of the 21st Century: Strategies of Interpretation and Artistic Functions
by
Abstract
The article explores the reinterpretation of ancient Greek myth in twenty-first-century literature. It is shown that myth functions not only as cultural heritage but also as a dynamic code of modernity. Key strategies and artistic functions are identified, including identity formation, engagement with trauma, aesthetic play, and philosophical reflection. The study concludes that through continual renewal, myth remains highly relevant within the contemporary literary process.
