This article studies Emily Hauser’s For the Winner (2017), a contemporary reimagining of the myth of Atalanta. This novel belongs to a women-authored literary mode that gives prominence and a voice to classical female characters and myths. Close examination of the politics of cross-dressing, as well as how Atalanta’s mythic identity is reconstructed as a heroine undaunted by gender lines reveals that Hauser’s approach constitutes a central site for ascribing meanings of determination, agency, and gender equality, thus culturally repositioning the male-centredness of her canonical representations and providing a feminist reinscription of the myth.

The themes of past sins have occupied our collective imagination since the dawn of humankind. The ways in which characters are faced with their nemesis have changed throughout history, but the structure of the myth permeates our culture even nowadays. In this essay, Shaky from Simon Spurrier’s Crossed: Wish You Were Here is analysed and compared to Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex to determine if this myth still accurately represents some of our oldest fears, if its structure still serves the purpose of identifying anxieties in our culture, and it the Oedipal process can help explain Shaky’s search for identity.

La mitología constituye una fuente constante de material literario para el escritor contemporáneo, que encuentra en ella elementos imperecederos capaces de resonar con nuevas vibraciones en la actualidad. Sobre esta base, el presente trabajo analiza la imagen moderna de Cheoyong, personaje mítico coreano cuyos orígenes se remontan a finales de la época de Silla (s. IX), en la obra de los poetas Shin Seok-cho (1909-1975) y Kim Chunsu (1922-2004). En estas, se observa una reformulación del mito en clave contemporánea y una adaptación del personaje de Cheoyong a una modernidad cambiante, sin perder los vínculos con la tradición.
