This article explores the role and cultural specificity of mythological images in English and Uzbek literature, comparing how each tradition adapts myth to reflect cultural values, social norms, and spiritual beliefs. English literature, drawing heavily on Greek, Roman, and Norse myths, often centers on themes of individualism, heroism, and existential struggles, reflecting the Western fascination with human nature and the inner self. Uzbek literature, in contrast, integrates Turkic, Islamic, and Sufi-inspired mythological elements, which underscore community, resilience, and spirituality. This comparative study examines how mythological characters and themes in each literary tradition serve not only as storytelling devices but also as cultural symbols that bridge past and present, reinforcing identity and worldview.
