[The Theology in the Asymmetric Mystical Gutters of the Poetry (The Christological “Definition of Chalcedon” and the “Bridge of Arta” Through the Hermeneutic Realisation of Intertextuality)]

Abstract: It is important for the Literature to realize a scientific research in different Balkan people and even beyond them to catch sight of the reception of the Philosophy and of the Theology within the vivacious popular tradition. As well as the known Christological “Definition of Chalcedon” of Byzantine Theology includes within it existential extensions, related to freedom and to love in the context of the communion of persons, likewise exactly the parabolic post-byzantine Greek popular Poem and folk Song “Bridge of Arta” speaks about love and how to realize it among the persons, within the framework of rebuilding interpersonal relationships among the people of the whole Humanity. It is about a jointly ecumenical stare and vision of life and beyond it, emerging through the interpretative realization of intertextuality and of a comparative study of these two sources of Byzantine and Post-Byzantine epoch.
