Modern philosophy is forced to return to the question of "what is philosophy?" Does it need to be understood as the science of being or a science about man? M. Heidegger believes that philosophy is the science of being and refers to Parmenides. R. M. Rilke, as a poet, is closest to the point of view of I. Kant, according to which philosophy is anthropology. The article analyzes the attitude of Heidegger to Parmenides' poem "Оn Nature" and concludes that Heidegger did not express his attitude to the fork of two ways of man in Parmenides' philosophy: the way of understanding being and the way of understanding the ghostly, that is, the existence of man. Parmenides chose the path of being, and Heidegger supported him. However, on this path it is impossible to talk about the fundamental difference between man and animal. It is also impossible to raise the question of what is a man. The path of ontology leads to the coincidence of the human and non-human. In this regard, the article analyzes the attitude of Heidegger to the poetry of Rilke. Heidegger understands man as being. Rilke sees the essence of a man not in the fact that he owns a word, but in the fact that he is addressed to his inner self. The article shows that Heidegger distorted the position of Rilke, identifying his poetry with the philosophy of the subject in modern times. The author comes to the conclusion that Rilke is outside the limits of western thinking, according to which man is included in the structure of existence, and the human and non-human do not differ. Rilke's poetry, in the author's opinion, is the source of new thinking that proceeds from the fact that the human and non-human do not fundamentally coincide. Man dreams, the animal evolves.

The text deals with Stephen Fry's Mythos as a modern, authentic and humorous adaptation of the ancient Greek mythology. The study focuses on the applied language policies and practices, as well as the achieved balance in the language situations and formations. The creative figure of the author with a special point of view of the modern world and accepted stereotypes are essential. The research methodology combines theoretical and interdisciplinary analyses.

The ancient works of Greek civilization had almost been wiped out of human consciousness until Renaissance revisited it. In early 1800s, when Greece was revolting against Turks after 400 years of slavery, Europe discovered the old Greek tragedies and works of Greek philosophers which had been oppressed by political power bearers. In the 19th century many free spirits like Lord Byron (who died in Greece during the war) were intrigued by these works and began to reinterpret and analyse them to locate universals truths relating to philosophy, ecology, psychology, natural sciences, etc in them.Ever since Renaissance (when Shakespeare made abundant use of Greek Myths in his plays) the craze and interest in Greek mythology has not slowed down. From Homer to John Milton to John Keats to Thomas Hardy, all old and contemporary writers have looked towards Greek Myths for substance for their writing and have used them in all possible genres of literature. This paper attempts to trace the influence of Greek Mythology on English literature and contemporary culture, to point towards the literary works of various centuries which intensively used Greek myths and those English films which depict the same. An effort has been made at finding out the reason behind this continuing popularity of ancient myths and to analyse such a tremendously powerful phenomenon.

Autochthony myths served the creation of an identity that was culturally and politically meaningful to the people. Since the 430s the Athenians have brought the message of their autochthony across with a confidence and insistence that seem more than average. Around a decade after Pericles' Citizenship Law, the first indications emerge that the Athenians claimed to be 'autochthones'. A century after Pericles' Citizenship Law, being an exclusive elite had become a quality of all citizens of Athens.

In this thesis I will primarily examine how the retellings of Greek myths from the female perspective provide insight into the importance of myth and why these stories are still relevant today. Specifically, I will examine three major figures: Circe in Madeline Miller's Circe, Penelope in Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad, and Medusa in Marjorie Garber's The Medusa Reader, along with a few other minor characters featured in Nina MacLaughlin's Wake, Siren. By studying the fresh perspectives provided by the narration and journeys of these characters and connecting them to plights and experiences that are currently affecting women as evidenced by political and social events such as the #MeToo movement, I hope to demonstrate the power and effectiveness of the messages that can come from these retellings, and how they can impact a modern audience and even contribute to future feminist progress.
