Myth in Indo-European Antiquity
From Scythia to Camelot. A Radical Reassessment of the Legends of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the Holy Grail
Yamato-takeru: An "Arthurian" Hero in Japanese Tradition
Les curieuses similitudes entre le heros legendaire japonais Yamato-takeru et le Roi Arthur ne semblent pas fortuites. Entre le second et le cinquieme siecle, le folklore du Japon et de l'Europe occidentale fut influence, directement et indirectement, par plusieurs tribus nomades de langue iranienne du Nord-Est (Sarmates, Alans, etc.). Ces tribus venaient des steppes des actuelles Russie du Sud et Ukraine. Les derniers survivants des populations …

Indo-European Tripartition and the Ara Pacis Augustae: An Excursus in Ideological Archaeology
The Ara Pacis Augustae or Altar of Augustan Peace, erected by the Emperor outside Rome in 9 B.C., expresses perhaps more clearly than any other monument the ideology of the Augustan Age: the peaceful union of Rome with her Empire. At the same time, in the iconography of the east and west fronts, and especially in the images on the altar table, pedestal and plinth, it contains several expressions whose structures appear consonant with the triparti…

Myth, Method, and Madness [and Comments and Replies]
The structural analysis of myth is a prime focus of anthropological interest, largely because of the efforts of Levi-Strauss. This paper uses some Levi-Straussian ideas to develop a strategy for myth analysis that I call the non-sense-in-myth strategy (NIMS). The strategy is given a trial run on a well-known and (I believe) much-misunderstood myth: Adam and Eve in Eden. The structure identified has an evolutionary character consistent with many m…

The Organization and Management of a Tokyo Shinto Shrine Festival
The New Comparative Mythology
This is as it should be. Indeed, it is incumbent upon anyone who would aspire to the role of generalist to maintain a continuing dialogue with specialists in the several fields about which he seeks to generalize. The new comparative Indo-European mythology, as developed by Professor Georges Dum6zil and his colleagues, is an outstanding example of a general interpretive scheme that has developed in large measure as a result of this kind of dialogu…

“Je ne suis pas … structuraliste”: Some Fundamental Differences between Dumézil and Lévi-Strauss
It should be emphasized at the outset that Georges Dumézil does not consider himself to be a social theorist of any sort, least of all a “structuralist.” Indeed, his opinion of the structuralist movement, to say nothing of the extent to which others have attempted to associate him with the origin and development of that movement, is less than enthusiastic; and in the Introduction to Mythe et épopée III he has explicitly denied any connection what…
