Abstract

The analysis of myth fossilizes it and disconnects it from its original function and deeper meaning. From the testimony of the Australian Aborigines, four possible levels of meaning of the myth have been identified. In this paper, using semiological methodology, we aim to see if this process of interpretation may have been a common denominator in all cultures that, in myth, have a collective intangible heritage. We propose a denomination at these levels of analysis and meaning, providing examples from very distant cultures, epochs and territories. The result is a verification of the most intimate level of meaning of the myth, aware that scientific methods will always keep us away from the most personal and living layer of the myth, the one that constitutes the individual heritage.
