Kate Tempest’s Brand New Ancients: Myths Ancients And Contemporary

Abstract

The intricate interplay between ancient mythologies and contemporary society, exploring how age-old narratives continue to shape and inform the cultural landscape of the modern world, the study unravels the threads that connect the mythic past with the present. The investigation begins by examining the persistence and adaptation of ancient myths in contemporary literature, analyzing how Tempest reinterprets and reinvents classical tales to address contemporary themes and concerns. Through a comprehensive review of the work, the study identifies how mythic motifs are repurposed to reflect the zeitgeist of the 21st century. The paper scrutinizes the influence of ancient myths on societal norms, values, and collective identity. Brand New Ancients not only illuminates how ancient myths persist in the contemporary world but also underscores their dynamic and evolving nature.
