The main aim of this paper is to show that the labyrinth myth can still offer new possibilities of interpretation and spread diverse metaphorical dimensions before the reader even though the thesis is stated that its fading in its metaphorical function. Examining the example of the Minotaur-lay by Dürrenmatt it is shown that the modern labyrinth-variation is not solely limited to its aesthetic playfulness, but it should rather be understood as a pictorial response to the condition of the people living in the postmodern era.

After World War I the historical novel experienced a big boom in Austria. Especially the völkisch-national authors elaborated a lot of history books in which the deeds of the Heroes of world history were portrayed. The intention of those novels was to nourish the base for the arrival of a Führer. In his historical novel Turlupin, Leo Perutz drafted a counter-model to the pathetic topos of those books. On the level of the plot and the narration techniques, in this seemingly conventional historical novel Turlupin, Perutz discussed the crisis of identity and by doing this he engaged in the manifold discourses of his time.
