Summary/Abstract: Born in Bombay but mainly educated in the UK, Salman Rushdie is at ease juggling with myths from both classical, western beliefs and from Hindu tradition. Just as he plays with allusions to writers, works or characters, myths allow him to build his fictional worlds. The article aims to discuss how he deals with myths in two of his novels, “Midnight’s Children” and “The Ground Beneath Her Feet”.
