Mythological Parallels In The Golden Apples

Eudora Welty uses techniques of allusion and the mythological method to establish parallels between Greek mythology and the characters and incidents in The Golden Apples.

The mythological method, coined by T. S. Elliot, is richer than an allusion. Using the mythological method a writer is able to replace characters in mythology with his or her own creations.

Welty’s title, The Golden Apples, was the original title of the short story “June Recital.” However, the title itself comes from a line in Yeats’s poem “The Song of the Wandering Aengus.”
