摘　　要：依据神话批评理论,将阿特伍德的新作《珀涅罗珀记》、荷马所著的《奥德赛》、加拿大民族成长经历、阿特伍德小说常见主题进行对比,认为《珀涅罗珀记》是加拿大民族集体无意识的表征,隐含着对和平正义的渴望,对美国霸权行为不满却又无可奈何的民族心态,是对加拿大后殖民性的极好诠释。Based on myth theory, this paper makes a comparison among Atwood＇s The Penelopiad, Homer＇s Odyssey, the growth experience of Canada as a nation, and Atwood＇s recurrent themes, and concludes that The Penelopiad is a show of Canadians＇ collective unconsciousness, embodies their longing for peace and justice, their complaint against US hegemony, their helpless national psyche, and is a good illustration of Canadian postcoloniality.
