ABSTRACT
This article addresses
the issue of Mythòs , as an element
that is capable of building the intellectual and empirical transformation of
individuals, when inserted in a society, where there is the issue of
collectivity as a point of existential balance. Its scientific relevance is
presented in terms of promoting a new discussion about the tales of Antiquity
and how they guaranteed the existence of people even when the law did not yet
exist as a determinant of life and customs and, even after these emerged, how
they continued to be useful for maintaining political governance in the
City-States. Its social relevance lies in clarifying to the broad public that the
Myth is not a fantasy and meaningless story. It contains a truth, understood in
classical semantic terms as memory and that it stores the events and facts of
the past and how they influenced the lives of all members of the community.
This is a bibliographical, factual research, based on systematic studies and a
hermeneutics directed to the topic in question. It is very innocent to
associate the birth of Greek mythology with the practice of writing, because in
no people, known and studied anthropologically, are myths linked to such a
selective act as this. The myth was, in Greek culture, linked to the
sociological aspect of society, as a whole, and not linked to the individual
psychological aspect of the character, for the simple fact that there was no this
type of feeling of particular belonging. Every citizen was an essential part of
the Polis, that is, their life was directly linked to it and everything that
happened.
Keywords: Mythòs; Greek mythology; Memory; It was from myth.
