Dumezil reader Anonymous Wed Jul 28 13:15:09 2021 No.18737252 [Reply] [Original]

I want to read Dumezil. Mostly out of a general interest in the trifunctional hypothesis. Does anyone have knowledge on where to start, any works to read before? What translations exists? I can read English or Swedia/Norwegian/Danish.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 28 15:54:33 2021 No.18738076 >>18738017 Well it's not. Out-cast is from old English, where 'cast' literally means throw. So it's basically 'thrown out'.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 28 17:31:45 2021 No.18738668 >>18737252 And why does Dumezil name his books so weirdly "The Destiny of a King"? What?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 28 20:28:58 2021 No.18739662 >>18737252 >Dumezil Why?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 28 20:51:23 2021 No.18739818 >>18739662 Because Dumezil is the god-king of Indo-European* studies. *Victors newspeak for Aryan

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 28 20:53:00 2021 No.18739826 >>18738668 Because they're comparative mythologies collected around a theme, like kingship or warriorhood etc.
