Abstract

I intend to make a brief presentation of Georges Dumézil's structural conception. Dumézil, although little known in Brazil, was one of the most expressive names in research in comparative mythology, working mainly on Indo-European civilizations. His merit was to propose another approach to comparison, no longer using elements but rather structures capable of homology. It is in this context that he discovers and develops his theory of trifunctionality or tripartite ideology.
