Abstract
The question of the original meaning of φύσις is asked for the sake of our own ontological positioning, for the sake of the modernity in which and with which we significantly are. This paper therefore examines the semantics of the root φύσις, the Hellenic basis φυ-, and hence the possible connection with εἶναι. If the meanings of φύσις, with respect to the etymological basis of the word, lie between growth and being, then the question of the layering of meaning in its poetry usage arises. The paper examines the given ambiguity through the relationship of θεῖον and φύσις. There are three moments of this relationship that are present in mythical thinking: cosmo-theogonic, logos-vitality and ethos-value. The thesis is that from these rocks the mythical φύσις can be seen in its original meaning as an event by which the being is. This thesis is examined on the example of the meaning of φύσις in Homer's Odyssey.
