A critical rewiew of psychoanalytic approaches to Greek religion
Maľová, Anna ; Chlup, Radek (advisor) ; Halík, Tomáš (referee)
Two psychoanalytic interpretations are subjected to scrutiny in this thesis. Richard Caldwell, the author of the first interpretation, presents psychoanalytic interpretation of Greek theogonic myths in his book The Origin of the Gods. The Greek family and its influence on Greek myths is subject of the second interpretation presented in the work The Glory of Hera by Philip E. Slater. While Caldwell prefers classical psychoana- lysis Slater is interested in specific schema of the Greek family which he of course in- terprets psychoanalytically. Key words: psychoanalysis, Greek mythology, Greek gods, Greek religion, psy- choanalytic interpretations.

The feminine character in El final del juego by Julio Cortázar
Hubáčková, Ema ; Poláková, Dora (advisor) ; Krátká, Tereza (referee)
(in English) I have decided to dedicate my final thesis to a very important Argentinian author, translator and intellectual, Julio Cortázar. This work is based on one of his most important publications, Final del juego, concretely on the position of the women that are included in the stories of this publication. We can notice that Cortázar places a woman almost in every part of this book, but she is always seen in a negative way. This work is not written from the point of view of a feminist ideology. This thesis tries to compare the author's technique of writing with the one generally used in his era. We are going to analyze some concrete short stories from our corpus and we will search for the answer to why in some cases the work of Cortázar differs from other authors of that era and in what does it differ. The goal of this work is not only to analyze his work and present his ideas, but also to search for the possible roots and cause of his style of writing in such negative way about the women. Not only are we going to study his biography, but also the greek mythology and other aspects.

Eschatiai and Their Inhabitants in the Greek Literature from Homer to Herodotus
Nováková, Adéla ; Fischerová, Sylva (advisor) ; Marek, Václav (referee)
The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to describe and evaluate references to the farthest parts of the world, eschatiai, in Greek literature from its beginnings to the time of the historian Herodotus. After both the primary and the secondary literatures have been examined, differences in the presentations by the individual authors and also the position that the concept of eschatiai occupies in Greek understanding of the space and the world as oikoumene will be presented. The purpose of this work, however, is not only to provide an overview of sources and their contents. Information about the peripheral parts of the world, drawn from the primary sources, forms the basis for studying a broader problem, namely the encounter of the Greeks with different ways of life, the ensuing response to this new experience and a representation of these parts of the world in the literature. In the opening part of my bachelor thesis special attention will be paid to careful definition of the two basic terms, oikoumene and eschatiai. The precise meanings of both terms kept evolving in the course of Greek history. When the Greeks discovered more and more new territories, they learned about them and also settled there, gradually expanded the boundaries of the inhabited land, oikoumene, and along with it the...

Archetypes of Greek Mythology
Domanjová, Nikola ; Jirásková, Věra (advisor) ; Krámský, David (referee)
This work deals with characteristics of Greek mythology and tries to define a myth and to describe the differences between myths and fairy tales. It focuses on an origin and a history of myths, on gods and on heroes. My work also examines a concept of collective unconscious and archetypes, that appears in antique mythology (especially the archetype of a hero). Based on these findings, this work forms characteristic features of heroes, that are applied on the Greek heroes Odysseus and Achilles. Their life stories prove they deserve to be considered as archetypes of heroes. A survey, that deals with a concept of heroism according to contemporary young people, is also part of the work. It reflects not just the teenagers' image of a hero, but it examines their knowledge of Greek mythology, too.

Artist book - inspired by greek mythology
NOVOTNÝ, Tomáš
This Thesis consists of two parts theoretical and practical. The theoretical part forms an integrated theoretical conception that seeks inspiration from Greek myths and offers creative starting points for the practical part which is the creative project of realization of an artist book. There are also described the origins and development of the mythical tradition in Greece. The main source of inspiration is found in the myths of origin by the epic poet Hésiodos. The mythical perspective on the origin in chaos is enhanced by the views of Pre-Socratic philosophers who influenced by the mythical tradition sought the rational origin, the primaeval existence. The artist book inspired by the myth of origin is produced in a shape of a folder of ten sheets in A2 format.
