Semiotics of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Asoyan A.

The cultural essay is devoted to the identification of interpretative ciphers of an orphic myth in world culture. A century ago, I. Annensky penetratively remarked that the ancient myth determines not only the material, but also the most forms of our creative thought. The criterion here is not accuracy, but the depth... This is an area of ​​discoveries, revelations, premises and existential guesses. The boundaries of an essay chronotope from Pushkin and J. Nerval to Vl. Nabokova and U. Oden. But the logic of the development of research is not dictated by chronology, but by an associative and unpredictable connection of interpretation meanings. Orphic myth shows how the old truth and its new artistic and philosophical understanding can be connected together.
