TRAIAN CHELARIU AND THE REWRITING OF THE MIORITIC MYTH

Summary/Abstract: ”The myth abnegation is the action of effeminacy” says Traian Chelariu, an author from Bukovina living in the ages of 1906 – 1966. According to him, the myth represents ”the hypothesis where the logical and psychological functions from our human being are going to mingle in a present stem”. Thus, the author manages to revitalize the myth of Miorița through the dramatic opera The Carpathian Ballad. A fairy tale in six tableaus, which presents the same story of the murdered shepherd, but in a complex manner, with intrigue of miraculous creatures.
