Abstract

A myth is a narration of an original past time, precursor of all times, in which we can find the models and examples that determine and give meaning to life. Having accompanied man since the beginnings of mankind, myth is rooted in human behavior, symbolically explaining human and natural facts. With this work, we try to understand the social and symbolic importance of the myth, throughout the occidental human society, in order to understand ontologically the social function of the myth and subsequently the establishment of a new science: the mitology.
