Élément narratif ajouté à un mythe.

CONT

Cette méthode d'analyse du récit par réduction à ses composantes élémentaires a été appliquée par Lévi-Strauss à la description et à l'interprétation des mythes; (...) la signification est moins dans une affabulation historique que dans la structure des invariants formels ou mythèmes.

CONT

Nous nommerons de même mythème mité toute addition à un mythe qui comporte de telles aberrations dans sa trame qu'elle laisse passer par de nombreux trous quelque soupçon de néant.
