Abstract
Two passages of Ovid are analysed: the invention of the agriculture (1. «The hair of the trees/of the earth/of the comet») and the first human flight in the mithology (2. «From Icarus flight to the vocabulary of the aviation»), as well as their occurrences in classical greek and Spanish literatures. The technical series, the creation of a new word in a fictitious world and their paralellisms with historical facts take us to contemplate the insertion of neologism in different kinds of speech (fabula, historia...) in the last epigraph (3. «Myth and poetry in the neologism»).
