Abstract:
MARIANN SLÍZ, The function of names in Greek mythology //
This study presents the mythological function of names in Greek myths, emphasizing though
that most of the observed functions are not typical in mythology in general. Names were collected
from the general work “Görög mitológia [Greek Mythology]” (1977/1997) by KÁROLY KERÉNYI, a
scholarly book paying attention even to the different versions of the myths, and, occasionally, from
the popular work “Görög regék [Greek Tales]” (1976) by IMRE TRENCSÉNYI-WALDAPFEL. The re-
search focuses rather on the overall mythological function of names and name types, and also on
the interrelations of names than on the etymologies of names. Topics presented in the paper in-
clude the specific transitionary state of mythological names between common and proper nouns
and the frequent changes between these two categories; the synonymity of names (e.g. in connec-
tion with the several names of a god); names compressing the storyline of a myth; the appearance
of a new name as a linguistic manifestation of the change in one’s mythological role; pseudonyms
as indicators of temporary mythological roles; and the magic function of names.
