Abstract
The present paper examines the understanding of the Prometheus figure in three works of Goethe. In the unfinished drama Prometheus (and the poem belonging to it) Prometheus is not only the great rebel against dogmatic religiosity and an autonomous creator in the sense of Shaftsbury, but even more a Kulturbringer as Rousseau outlined the development of culture. In Dichtung und Wahrheit Goethe re-interprets his own previous interpretation: Prometheus is the solitary and isolated artist. Finally in his similarly unfinished drama Pandora Prometheus is like a modern industrialist, he is led only by practical motives and has no sense for beauties.
The aim of the present paper is to outline, briefly, what kinds of tendencies in intellectual history have had an impact on international Homeric scholarship in various ages and, mainly, to point out why in Hungary Homeric studies started relatively late and how they developed. Poets interpreted Homer rather quickly for themselves in harmony with the dominant ideas of various ages. Professional scholarship reacted slower, but by and by it made up its backwardness, now and then even superseding its models.
