Abstract
The reconsidering of the Prometheus myth by
Ismail Kadare writer in “Boring season in Olympus”has passed through the
umnythification process and according to my opinion it has a cantemporean and
modern addaption with the totilarist system of the Albanin reality. The author
writes a drama with a proffesional level, as a specific genre on the
reoutlineing of the ancient myth.This drama emphasises, Prometheus history
reoccured in different time, different areas in Balkan in the neighbouring
Albania too, even in all the countries living under totalitarist system, but
the human revolution even though under the wildest dictatorship, always
triumphs. The human civilisation finds the way to ilumination, knowledges,
development, democracy and freedom of speaking. In this study, it is attempted
to be shown not just the difficult way and the history of Prometheus god but
even the softening of the relationship between the representatives (or people’
advocate) and his dictator leader. There are included sarcastic marks, irony,
black humor, grotesque and stigmatization through tragedical reality. According
to my opinion Hypnos, the God of sleep who reads the people dreams from the
relationship with the truth is also the alterego of the writer.
