• The name of Alexander the Great is associated with
the invasion of India. From the contemporary
chronicle of that epoch we know about the existence
of the toponym of the Indian Caucasus. Prometheus
is perched on the cliffs of the Indian Caucasus in
the lyrical drama by Percy Bysshe Shelley
("Prometheus Unbound ", 1820). [1]
• Hence the idea that the story of the heroism of Titan
Prometheus was connected with the cult of the Sun,Prometheus was connected with the cult of the Sun,
which in Indian mythology is also a symbol of fire,
was reflected in the series of modern fairy tales by
Tamar Chachibaia "New Legends of India – Dynasty
of Sun".
References:
1. Shelley, Percy Bysshe (1820). Prometheus Unbound, A Lyrical Drama
in Four Acts with Other Poems (1 ed.). London: C and J Ollier.
2. Raben, J. (1963). Shelley's" Prometheus Unbound": Why the Indian
Caucasus?. Keats-Shelley Journal, 12, 95-106.
Leading place in Indian culture is the cult of the Sun [3], which is
reflected in traditional epics and customs. Also, the royal dynasties of
India trace their origins to the deity of the Sun. There is much in
common in Egyptian, Greek and Indian mythology regarding the cult of
the Sun. The events in the modern fairy tale "New Legends of India –
Dynasty of Sun” by Tamar Chachibaia take place around the royal
dynasty of Sun. The foundion history of the kingdom is narrated withdynasty of Sun. The foundion history of the kingdom is narrated with
the participation of the white mouse - avatar of the mother of the Sun -
and its descendants. It is not a revival and literary interpretation of
existing legends and myths, on the contrary, the author sometimes
radically changes the traditionally established narratives and often gives
the impression that the stories told by her seem to have really existed in
this way.
Reference:
[3] Srivastava, V. C. (1972). Sun worship in ancient India.
In fact, the author digs up completely new
legends and myths that are nowhere to
be found in Indian narratives. These are
modern legends and myths with a hint of
antiquity that will take the young reader
on a journey through ancient times with
the illusory feeling of a relevant era.
The author shares with adults the traditionsThe author shares with adults the traditions
and customs that are still preserved
today, and since it is difficult to gain deep
access to historical nuances, she makes
the reality aggravated by the burden of
time lighter through the fantasy world.
