Summary/Abstract: In this paper I examine the correlation of myth and logos with the help of some Ancient Greek mythological pictures and modern explanations of these. In the study I compare certain sides of the static and dynamic interpretations of this correlation with special attention to the terms of ”consciousness” and ”truth”. I support my analysis above all with the reasoning results of Kerényi, Jung and Taubes, respectively Hegel. The thoughts of the first three authors are explicitly treated in my work, while those of the latter one implicitly.
