Summary/Abstract: The notion of historicity in search of identity predestines research scope and displays peculiar transcription possibilities. Nationality paradigms are widely manifested in modern-day Europe. Identity visions, quests and discoveries create a unique mythological field insubordinate to analogies. Mythology today has to be assessed as an ideological dimension of self-consciousness. Being mythical adds to the assessments a special dimension, a persuading grasp and time confirmed projection. Dilemma of self (selfism) actualizes the mythology of identity, providing nationality strategies with an attractive space and meaningful perspective, disclosing an existential conformation for the ideal quest.
