Abstract
T.S. Eliot's 'mythical method' is a publishing author's practice of taking an ancient or received story as the organizing principle for a self-standing and contemporary narrative. Joyce's use of Ulysses is an example. Homer's epic had a long history of exegesis, including serving as one of the sources of Milton's Satan in Paradise Lost.
