description This article aims to revisit discussions about the possible permanence of myths in Western secular societies, especially the recurrence of four contemporary myths – Frankenstein, Dracula, Faust and the End of the World –, and taking as reference the works of Mircea Eliade, Georges Gusdorf, Gilbert Durand, Jean-Pierre Sironneau and Ernst Cassirer, among others. Using symbolic hermeneutics as its methodology, the present study undertakes a discussion about the current understanding of myth, shows how myths express contemporary imagery and, finally, debates about their permanence. The results point to the permanence of the myth, although not in a uniform or constant way, but camouflaged, disguised, suffering wear and tear and going through derivations, characteristics typical of dynamic narratives such as those that constitute the myth.
