PROMETHEAN MYTHOLOGICAL SYMBOLS, LEFT AND RIGHT OF THE PRUT
PROMETHEAN MYTHOLOGICAL SYMBOLS, LEFT AND RIGHT OF THE PRUT

Summary/Abstract: The reverberations of the Promethean myth can symbolically particularize Ion Creangă’s and Grigore Vieru’s creations, the primordiality of the fire and freedom assumed through sacrifice completing the revolt and the rebellion. The hermeneutics of the signs and the symbolism integrated in the myth can discover scientific, biographical and especially spiritual interferences in the two titans of the Romanian language. The tragic self-devouring is only a modern mutation of the myth, transposed at the Moldavian and Bessarabian ideational level. All the roots of the archetype aim to nourish the Romanian culture and literature with the sap of the Promethean authenticity.
