Abstract

The interest of Hellenistic by collect, compile, or document information considered relevant past became a scholar desire to know that end up favoring the emergence of new genres bookish life of its own, the paradoxography and mythography. This desire for erudition responded to a renewed awakening of imagination and curiosity, but also to the pursuit of prestige record. In this article we will try to detail the roots of mythography, nurtured in the chronography, local histories, genealogy and mythology, as well as the purposes sought, among which they outperformed, as well as a specific educational objective, the possibility of associating some important families big gods and noble heroes of a past model and idealized, with the purpose of acquiring an indelible reputation.
