Description
This, the second section of Mythe et epopee II, Georges Dumezil's outstanding work on Indo-European myth and folklore, reconstructs another prototypical figure in the gallery of epic types: The Sorcerer. In ancient mythical societies a culture hero needed access to magic, either personally or by command, because he was ideally expected to control or banish old age and death.
