Abstract
It is analyzed intertextually the flying myths of Perseus, Belerophon and Icarus, that are relaunched by the Latin poetry. Ovid contributes innovating details that are successful. The poets become aware of the subject and relate characters to others. Thus, this research discovers its thematic system. In posterity Perseus and Icarus are a success, recreated with thematic incorporations and affected by the sincretism of other heroes.
