Summary

The helenist and mythologist Jean-Pierre Vernant, in his book Mythe et société en Grèce ancienne (1974), show us the principle typology of studies of world myths today: "symbolistes, fonctionnalistes, structuralistes" (Op. cit., 227, on 1982). The same scientist, when he tell about the early studies of mythology, show us again three new typs: "mythologie compareé" of M. Müller, "anthropologie anglaise" of E. B. Tylor and german "philologie historique". Concerning our basque mythology, I thing there are those shown by Vernant, one less: the evolutionist typ belonging to Tylor. But, Vernant doesn?t mentioned the europeen folklorists or ethnographists at Europe. Van Gennep, Sébillot, for exemple in France ; Cerquand, Wester, Jm. Barandiaran, too in Basque Country. Looking at the future, we don?t must choice absolutly one between all theories about the studies of myths. We will continue, of course, researching up to our preferred theory, but without never more forget the other ones too.
