Myth and History: A philosophical and historiografic review of the concept of
myth for the study of the Archaic Greece.
Abstract: The present study approaches the concept of mythos in relation with our
historical scientific - rational thought. It proposes to investigate the myth from the theory
of the historical knowledge and to include it with his own meaning and value in the
reconstruction of the historical western memory and ancient Greek, deepening with it the
relation myth - history. In him, is approached his epistemolgicall status by means of the
systematizing of a temporary axis that distinguishes different uses and meanings, then to
approach it inside the Greek ancient experience in the light of Hesodo's poetry. It is verified
in this respect, the possible rationality of the myth as human particular expression with an
own historicity of his voice and own meaning, in whose singularity inserts a multitude of
convergent features of social and mental structure.He supposes, first of all a very punctual
approximation to the contribution that the myth has done inside the human knowledge and
especially inside the historical knowledge, as a review that opens ways of investigation
much more holistic than properly to discipline.
