THE LABYRINTH TEST. A MYTHOCRITIC READING OF THE LABYRINTH IN THE FICTIONS OF MIRCEA ELIADE AND MICHEL TOURNIER

Summary/Abstract: Our paper aims to analyse several images and symbols specific to the Labyrinth of Greek mythology as well as some of the mandala representations of Hindu tradition re-written, as they appear, in Mircea Eliade’s and Michel Tournier’s fictional works. Our endeavor is a mythological approach and analytical abysmal. The Labyrinth and the mandalas are representations of a major initiatory trial of the man’s convoluted psychological and spiritual journey, towards the center, towards his Self.
