This issue includes various studies that reinterpret the reception of myths in contemporary culture. It compares "Crossed: Wish You Were Here" with "Oedipus Rex," linking the myth of ancestral sin to current concerns. Medea, as depicted in film, is understood as a symbiosis of myth and symbolic archetype. Emily Hauser revisits Atalanta in "For the Winner" from a feminist perspective. Madhavi S. Mahadevan’s "Bride of the Forest" and the poetry of Chantal Maillard reimagine myths based on motherhood, postfeminism, and contemporary compassion. In addition, criteria are proposed to classify myths in epic fantasy video games, and the mythology present in "World of Warcraft" and "Dark Souls III" is examined.
