Abstract
Throughout tradition western Literature has drawn many of its main themes from classical mythology. This article addresses the reception of one of those themes, the Cretan labyrinth, in the Odyssey (1938), a key work of an outstanding exponent of the 20th century Literature: Nikos Kazantzakis (1984-1957). The links between the books IV-VIII of the poem and the myth of the labyrinth will be analyzed in this article through the elements of the dance, the bull, the cavern and the sacrifice, as well as through the characters of Odysseus (Theseus), Diktena (Ariadne) and Idomeneus (Minotaur).Downloads
