Dali’s Metamorphosis of Narcissus (1937; London, Tate Modern) is one of the most famous paintings of the Catalan surrealist as well as the most original treatment of the Narcissus myth in the 20th century painting. Its originality aroused curiosity from the very moment it was created and the masterpiece still attracts attention of the scholars. Although the scholarly approaches might differ considerably, the greater part of the studies concentrate on psychoanalytical interpretations. The aim of the article is, on the other hand, to examine how Dali’s painting relates to the Metamorphoses by Ovid as the main classical source of the Narcissus myth.

In the ceiling fresco of the main hall of the monastery's prelature a privileged position was accorded to the depiction of nude Andromeda. In order to glorify Perseus' piety and restraint, she had to be an attractive woman, a counterpart of music, perfumes, food and drink and the other pleasures of the flesh. The ceiling painting proclaims that the Iustitia of the Brevnov monks firmly rests on a triad of moral virtues, Sapientia, Fortitudo and Temperantia. Into this ideological program the story of Perseus was embedded, the pagan hero being presented as a forerunner and alter ego of Blessed Guntherus. The old story celebrated the antiquity of the Brevnov monastery and its classical aura tied it with Rome and its imperial tradition.

The period 1809-1815 in the development of Schelling's philosophy is being examined in order to find out its contemporary significance. Four relevant works concerning the problems of human freedom, the relationship between God and the world, the essence of time as well as the ancient mythology come under investigation. The reasons for these researches by Schelling and the results of his endeavours are being discussed against a backdrop of some classical commentaries. At the end of the paper, there follows a reason for the fixed interest in Schelling's theories, especially in the later ones: the need of modern times for a carefully considered and profitably implemented myth.
