In particular mythical women associated with the aquatic universe had an extraordinary impact on decadent and symbolist poets and painters. These female characters represent a new language in poetry, an introspective inquiry and an expression of the self. Also, they talk about the pursuit of absolute art work so they become the subject of contradictory interpretations.
On one hand, mythical women involve symbolic attributes (mythological, biblical, historical and legendary ones); on the other, they are described by the dialectic of contradictories (mythical and real, perfect and lethal, monstrous and beautiful, sacred and demonic). Divine or earthly, fascinating or repulsive, the female figures inspired on ancient goddess or legendary creatures (like Eve, Venus, Galatea, Leda, Salome, Helen, Judith, Cleopatra, Ophelia, but also Melusine, Sirens, Chimeras and Nereids) maintain a deep connection with the artist's soul and lead to a renewal in poetic language. We will explore some of these mythical women and their artistic representation during the fin-de-siècle epoch.
Keywords :women, myth, aquatic drama, Symbolism, Fin-de-Siècle .
