Abstract
The author examines the influence of the phenomenon of fantasy on individuals and society through the lens of its historical emergence and development. The author argues for the necessity and importance of analysing this phenomenon, as it has deep historical roots and context, and has a profound impact on contemporary individuals and society as a whole. The structure of mythology's influence on people and the transmission of culture is, according to the author, closely linked to the nature of creativity and social adaptation, as demonstrated by examples from both ancient and Norse myths. The author shows that the development and formation of fantasy as a part of culture takes place within, but is not limited to, these historical events and processes. Fantasy absorbs the rediscovered romance of the Middle Ages and the influence of the preceding genre of science fiction. The spirit of the age demands a revision of the axiological foundations of modern humanity, based on the creative functionality of past meanings. This allows for a discussion of the close connection between fantasy and the processes of individual development and solidarity, as well as the formation of the individual as a subject. The author concludes that fantasy is a new response, a consolation and a benefit rooted in myth, fairy tales and medieval romance.
