A poesia, A e Ω da mitologia: das origens poéticas do mito à mitificação da poesia

Abstract

Classical mythology has been seen and studied regarding many perspectives, one of which is the comparative view, which analyzes, above all, the structure and the elements, which differentmythologies have in common. However, in the indo-european sphere, itis important to ask ourselves, not only about what the myth is or whatit tells, but whose it is, who can do it? Concentrating our attention onthe ethos, we shall see that the explanation of the origins of the mythabsolutely corresponds to the early conceptions of the ars poetica andthat in its root, mythology and poetry are equally sacred, and the onewho represents them, the poet is seen as a god.
