Özet:

The myths that help the early human to connect with the past, to live the present time comfortably and without trouble, to give direction to the future and to offer the lifestyle patterns of behavior, even if the meaning of it is changed, it has come to the present day by continuing its existence. They showed the creative side of man and presented humanity’s conditions with symbols, making them a source for art. The myth, which is added to tales like fairy tales, narratives, and legends over time, shows itself in poetry, novel and story. In addition, it is possible to say that there are myths in the origin of the theatre. The said situation can be initiated from the imitating actions of early period communities in the ceremonies. In the Turkish literature there are also writers who use mythos in various dimensions. Güngör Dilmen, who has the ability to reveal the dramatic meaning of mythological and historical events and to originally shape their material with the ability to use the myths, thus also makes the criticism of the age. He saves his historical and mythical identities from the stone image of the past; he lifts up their contradictions, their desires, their passions, and places them into the world of the work as a real drama person. In this work, Midas' Ears, which belongs to Güngör Dilmen, will focus on the mythical structure in Midas' The Gold, Midas' Blindness theatre games.
