All new receptions of ancient theme, whether in the arts or social action, provide a new perspective of understanding of relation between an ancient Greek and a man of today. The paper examines the interpretation of the character of Antigone from Sophocles's tragedy by contemporary French female troupe Les Antigones, which uses her as a symbol of their activities and thus gives her new – current meaning. The paper is based on the assumption that tradition and reality are the main factors influencing dramatic interpretation of the text and interpretation itself - the aspects of time have impact directly on content as well as formal analysis. The paper brings more transparency into the traditions of interpretation that directly or indirectly determines the reception of Antigone's character as a representative of the Les Antigones activities and focuses on the non-artistic context, which determined the formation of this troupe.

The aim of this paper is to present the archetypal interpretation of Orpheus as a representative of the classical musical myth. The text tracks the relationship between myth and music as well as explores possible melancholic features of the mythological character. The methodological basis is primarily the theory of archetype by Carl Gustav Jung. The mythological image of Orpheus in ancient literature is confronted with the former understanding of melancholy, taking account of the broader archetypal symbolization. Orpheus is incorporated into the mythological framework of Apollo and Orphism. The basic motifs of the myth include musical expression of the character (playing the lyre, singing), his journey to the underworld to retrieve Eurydice and his tragic death. There is an archetypal manifestation of the hero, the Self, the anima, the animus, the wise old man. The central motif is that of Orpheus turning around to look at Eurydice on the way from the underworld, it is an expression of unintegrated mental contents of individuation and the death of anima. The consequence of the described phenomenon is the death of the character by ripping his body to pieces by the women. The melancholy elements of myth show by moving towards the death based on the deficit of anima, on the next level the melancholy is initiated by the underworld experience and connection with music. The ancient view of Orpheus´s melancholy is connected to exceptional artistic abilities. By combining the archetypal approach to the myth and the interpretation analysis of melancholy, the amplified image of Orpheus has been created, which can be applied to interpretations of works of art.

In this article phraseological units of the Ukrainian language, an origin of which relates to the traditional funeral ceremonies, are considered. The inner form of such units reflects the stereotypes of the sacred behavior, determined by ceremonial canons. The specific character of national perception of the world is realized in them. The symbolic nature of ceremonial reality determines the appearance of ceremonial idiomatic expressions originated from the names of the ceremonial acts.

The text deals with the novel Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann as a source of a music-literary poetics and myth-poetics. The archetypical symbol of the shadow is interpreted and amplified through the literary character of Adrian Leverkühn and broader imagination tendencies of art and society in the first half of the 20th century. For this goal have been used approaches of the deep hermeneutics and the analytical psychology. The motif of the Faust has strong potential to express not only an archetype of the shadow, but its present is significant in the time of transformation and changes.

The story of Faust is a part of European culture and mythology for five centuries and modified and reflected looking of the society upon some key questions in various transformations. Faust has never been alone in his effort to reach an absolute knowledge and power, even at the expense of his own execration. Other iconic beings of folk literature or folk imagination and fiction following their own ambitions were ahead of him and followed him. The aspect of power as a dominant determinant of not only Faust’s effort became determining element of investigation in submitted article. The author accesses the problem of power in wider social-cultural contexts and looks for matter, origin and symptoms of its attraction following its transformation and possible aesthetical influence on the individual in the work reception and even in personal acting and creating of aesthetical preferences of the recipient.

The modern science does not possess adequate means of analysis and interpretation of genius and madness. Objective and statistical methods and rationalistic analysis push away the specificity of these phenomena. Genius and madness are possible to analyse and interpret from the perspective of Carl G. Jung’s theory of archetypes. Genius and madness are elements of the qualitative process of transformation of the human consciousness (initiation), but their meaning in the context of the individuation process (formation of individual personality) is different. In the context of creative process and in the context of culture the problem becomes crucial. Constructive interpretation of genius and madness is possible on the basis of “round way” metaphor, which catch complex nature of human symbolic activity, creative process and the culture. The Jungian concept of circumambulatio (rounding) is useful as well.

This paper analyses depiction of mythology in novel Mythago Wood written by British fantasy author Robert Holdstock. It points out the fact that author consciously worked with the theory of archetypes and myth structures elaborated by Carl Gustav Jung. Simultaneously, it takes into account cultural background of the story as well as it analyses symbols used in the novel. The paper also defines three levels of the story: familial, meta-mythological and metaphoric and examines use of archetypes and symbols on each of the levels. The results of this analysis are afterwards compared and analysed for similarities and differences, as well as for level of connection with non-fictional mythology of British cultural area. The paper also points out universality and great variability of use of archetypes and symbols in mythologies outside British Isles.
