- Myth of Today or Appropriation of Ancient?

Tribeca - New York, 2008


What is Myth Today?

Myth is a type of speech.
Myth is a system of communication, that is a message. Since everything is a type of speech, everything can be a myth provided it is conveyed by a discourse.

- Roland Barthes, book "Mythologies"

According to you, could the life of a young girl who left Greece to find new life in America become The MYTH OF TODAY?
and how this myth would be of Today?
by continuing the Ancient Mythology?
or by creating a Modern One?
