NË DORË TË MITIT: FIKSIONI E POLISI
IN THE HANDS OF MYTH: FICTION AND POLIS

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at providing an overview of the myth as a generator of fiction and polis, their commonalities and particularities. In its origins of the kinship with myth, the fiction behaves at the same way like with polis as an ethical-political order. By itself, fiction seeks to be identified with poiesis as a mythic source, by forging fact versus polis. Polis get damaged from the presence of myth insofar as polis get destroyed from the lack of myth.Within the European space, from its origins to the present, myth has walked on three avenues that sometimes tend to cohabit but often take different directions. Historically and idiosyncratically observed, the myth was raised on the pillars that belong to the ethical, religious, and aesthetic avenues. This is why the attribution of the myth to these avenues becomes a way of looking at the world, in this paper.
