ABSTRACT
The mythico-poetic attitude can be defined as a mental or spiritual state that enables individuals, in these case poets or rather artists in general. It is this extraordinary state of freedom, this rapture before a transformed universe that people should be able to discern in any work, through. To read a poem, to listen to a piece of music or to contemplate a work of art is not to be offered an opportunity for escape: sometimes, indeed, more often than people might think, these works enable us to experience a sense of impossible freedom. Even when the experience and aspirations behind them are the same, people seldom grant to poems the response that they accord to myths. It seems that when they become involved with art or literature, even by merely reading, they feel that this necessarily implies a change in their normal state, in other words, that the essential objective is to discover mythical elements in literary creation.
