In the first part of the article, by taking in account the entire work (e.g. notes and appendices) I’ll revise the previous opinion that considers this work a reversion to an intellectualistic approach to the myth and a withdrawal from the euhemeristic and ritualist theories and a renouncement to a unitary vision of the myth. I’ll show that the euhemerism adopted by Frazer derived from the influence of Schliemann’s archaeological discoveries and from the current debate on the nature of the Greek heroes and that it doesn’t contrast with an intellectual approach. Also, the attention paid to the role played by the bards, underlined by the category of folk tales, can be inserted in a global reflection of the myth. However, I’ll show that this reflection, with its criticism to the ritualistic theories, doesn’t imply a real reconsideration of the theoretical frame of the Golden Bough, as shown by the notes to the text. In the second part, I’ll argue that Frazer’s decision to enrich the edition with long notes with «loci paralleli» and his presentation of the mythographer as an ingenuous and faithful compilator of previous good sources, contributed significantly to the success of the "Library" in the XX century, but, at the same time, determined an oversimplified use of this text as a reference work not different from modern encyclopaedic mythological dictionary.Edizioni DedaloUniversidad Complutense de Madrid20192019-06-0120192019-06-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/108771reponame:Docta Complutenseinstname:Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM)Italianoitaopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:docta.ucm.es:20.500.14352/1087712026-06-02T12:44:21Z
