The Mythical Dream Voyage in "The Cobbler of Hydra".
- Authors
Zaidi, Ali Shehzad
- Abstract
The article presents a literary criticism of Mihai Niculescu's "The Cobbler of Hydra." The author reflects on author Mircea Eliade's prediction of a literature which embodies discoveries in psychoanalysis, religion and ethnology. The claim that mythology is not a collection of idle tales but an active cultural force is presented. Other topics include literary motifs of the sun, dream states in literature, and mythological names such as Apollo and Aphrodite in the narrative.
