Abstract
The main aim of this study is to describe the different modes in which a myth can be rewritten or reformulated within the thematic universe of a given literary work. Myth is understood here as a model tale which displays a response to typically human problem or conflict, as well as an intertext which creates a framework of reference for the author to conceptualize the myth in his/her the fictional universe so that it better fits his/her personal sensitivity or the contemporary cultural context. In order to tackle the question of intertextuality, it is necessary to establish the differences between the following concepts: ancestral oral myth, literarisized myth, literary myth, explicit ant implicit myths, mythical themes in certain genres, etc. Finally, the analysis of myth rewriting is carried out a mythocritical and comparative literature perspective.
