Abstract

ABSTRACT. Classical mythology has been seen and studied regarding many perspectives, one of which is the comparative view, which analyzes, above all, the structure and the elements, which different mythologies have in common. However, in the indo-european sphere, it is important to ask ourselves, not only about what the myth is or what it tells, but whose it is, who can do it? Concentrating our attention on the ethos, we shall see that the explanation of the origins of the myth absolutely corresponds to the early conceptions of the ars poetica and that in its root, mythology and poetry are equally sacred, and the one who represents them, the poet is seen as a god.
