Of course, it must be accepted that the human mind has always devoted its eternal myth-making ability to literature and art, and the characters, times, places, and events of literary works themselves become a kind of new myth (Rooyaii, 2015: 91); but what makes Eliade’s fictional works different is his mythological mindset, which makes them special by consciously introducing the functions of myth into the novel.
In fact, the one who performs a ritual accompanies the listening and symbolic recreation of a mythical narrative, and thereby takes place in a time and place superior to worldly time and space; in short, it can be said that primitive man, by reviving myths and living with them, escaped from linear and worldly time, which is specific to recording events and historical occurrences, and entered a time that had a different quality and was, as it were, sacred and Minoan, and entering this time was like entering eternity, or rather Illo tempore, which is the origin and beginning of every creation and emergence.
