Abstract

This article is a reflection on the nature of myth, specifically the quality of Greek myth and its significant structure and the context of its formation. Also, comparing the action of myth as language portrays the discourse as a specific reality. Today the word, a linguistic expression is mythological, as Barthes analyzes in his reflections. More than a mere verbal elucidation of the past, the myth makes itself present in the current human reality.

Author Biography

Moisés dos Santos Viana, UESB
O presente artigo é uma reflexão acerca da natureza do mito, especificamente da qualidade do mito grego e sua estrutura significativa, contexto da sua formação. Além disso, a comparação do mito enquanto ação de linguagem retrata uma realidade específica e cheia de significados, o discurso. Atualmente, a palavra, expressão linguística por excelência é mitológica, como analisa Barthes em suas reflexões. Assim, mais que simples elucidação verbal do passado, o mito se faz presente constituindo a realidade humana hodierna, ou seja, discurso. Currículo Lattes
