Abstract

Palestinian poets are open in thier poems to wide humanistic horizons. They qouted from the Greek myths such as: Sizeef, Tilimak, and Icaros... etc. These nyths formed the pillar of the poems in which the myths text embodied the palestinian individuals herosim after it was re-formed with a contemporary vision in which language was converted to symbols full of dimensions in terms of connation and imagery that express the lived situation, and clarifies the image of the lands usurper and the image of the Palestinian who is grasping the life time embers. The poets transformed all this into an equivalent topic that reflects thier poetic dream to creat a better human future in terms of its subjective humanistic dimensions. This research aims at shedding light on the aspects of this aesthetic usage of the Greek myths and thier artistic, realistic connotations. The study deals with etymology, definitions and derivation of these myths; moreover, it deals with thier trends that are based on natwal, literary and historical phenomena. It also deals with the views of paychologists and philosophers regarding thier significant in human thought in addition to cuases of embedding them in cotemporary poetry. Excerpts of poetry are analyzed to find out to what extent they express the visions of the Palestinian poets and thier awareness of the myths artistic value in thier poetry.
