Summary/Abstract: The paper it is an applied study having as start point the Jean-Jacques Wunenburger opinions concerning the revisited myths. The case study is in which way the myth of Pygmalion and the Christina parable of the lost sheep are absorbed in the novel of André Gide, The Pastoral Symphony. The myth becomes an invariant around which ceaselessly weaves, in the history of literature, with the same core. Christian parable is overturned as well and the Pygmalion’s myth.
