The Shakespearean Sea

Just as time “takes away and redeems”, in Shakespeare’s immense work even the sea, and strangely enough the Mediterranean Sea, dominates an imaginary geography that redesigns the edges of the world and laps the shores of yet undiscovered lands, sending characters from Greece to Sicily to navigate on fantasy routes. Above the scene of the world the sea separates and reunites lovers, fathers and sons, dethroned men and usurpers, as in The Tempest, where the sea agitated by Prospero’s magic wand reunites fate and destinies within the scheme of the infinite mutability of life.

The Myths Rediscovered

The formula “Mediterranean culture” summarizes the directions in which the ancient myth spreads, renews itself, is lost and found again in constantly modified forms. The mutation of the forms of transmission is the cultural evolution that between the ancient and modern eras presents an antique legacy of perennial stories, from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, where the stories of poems and ancient tragedies are summarized and embedded into one another, to the modern myths, like the myth of Don Giovanni, from one shore to the other of the sea. Looking at myth means to recognize our depth and our millenary tradition in the infinite narrations that return over and over again.
