Abstract (EN)

Mythos is part of man's intellectual activity towards the universe in which he resides and his own being. In this context, in our first chapter we discussed the conditions of the emergence of mythos in primitive society; we tried to reveal the ritual and economic function of the mythos at the center of man's rise as a cultural asset. We have tried to trace the redesign of natural forces as an image in the ritual, economic activities of Man, and the journey of such images produced in the custom of their own circumstances of each era. In the end, we discussed the historical course of the liberation of the human mind from unipolarness and the Hellenic philosophy associated with it. We looked for ways to illuminate the contradictions and consensus points of theoretical thought with mythic thought through philosophical thought and modern literature. We tried to read the Hellenic mind before Socrates through ambiguity and the Apollo - Dionysus duality, as in Nietzsche thought. Oscillating between this duality, as a product of the complex period, in the second part of our study we examined the tragedy and the birth of the tragic man. Finally, we talked about the ways in which the imagery closely related to mythic thought is handled in theoretical thought; we tried to read this process through tragedies and the art of cinema. The thought of Nietzsche, which influenced us in our work, suggests that tragedy has died before its successor. But if Nietzsche had seen the art of cinema, would he have needed to reconsider that idea? The subject of our study is shaped on this question.
