MITUL PROMETEIC ÎN VIZIUNEA LUI VICTOR EFTIMIU
THE PROMETHEAN MYTH IN THE VISION OF VICTOR EFTIMIU

Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of creating myths, of their forms, of the connections and the importance they had and still have in the development of our society, has been over time the subject of study for many scientists. The interest in the study of myths has its roots in the fact that they influence our development as individuals and in general the development of society. The Myth is a complex phenomenon that sums up the primordial ideas passed through the prism of modern human's sense. The relationship between myth and present resists over time due to man's need to survive and maintain himself through culture. Being perceived as true examples of morality, the ancient legends became models of human conduct that the romanian playwrights took over in their own texts. This paper aims to analyze the Promethean myth and how it was transposed in the play "Prometheus" by Victor Eftimiu. Having as a source of inspiration the Promethean myth in antiquity, we investigated the way in which the myth is reflected in the reality of the time, but also the impact that archetypes and symbols had on the society of the last century.
