Mito y autoridad

Abstract

Myths themselves are an expression of enlightened reason,
in them we found the principle of immanence, although there
have been attempts to denied it; on the other hand, in the
mythological narratives, the titans are defeated by the Olympian
gods: nature is subject to reason. So, the authoritative
figure is born of rationalization and internalization, force is
the source of authority and right. This not only puts pressure
on coerced individuals, but also, they have learned to give
their assent. This is reflected in the mythological creatures
that obtain their rights, and their curses, from the force they have exerted countless times and that has been petrified in
a right from which no one escapes. Therefore, authority is
based on violence that is repeated, again and again, and that
manifests itself through law, as in the case of mythological
creatures.
