„Прометеята“ на Смирненски – един компаративистичен казус и неговите методологически импликации
Prometheus in the poetry of Hristo Smirnenski – a comparative study and its methodological implications

Summary/Abstract: The paper is part of a largescale research on the interpretations and the utilizations of the Prometheus myth in Twentieth century literature. It is focused on the thematizations of the figure of the Titan in Hristo Smirnenski’s poetry, analyzed in different contextual frames – the Bulgarian reception of the myth, the European “Prometheus paradigm”, stabilized during the Enlightenment and the Romanticism, as well as in the context of certain appropriations of the myth for the purposes of political propaganda. An attempt is made for the rationalization of the methodological implications that are inherent in the respective comparativistic case.
