The structural dynamics underlying mythical expression have been clearly
demonstrated in the work of Claude Levi-Strauss. Myths and series of
myths are shown to be fields where contradictory terms are stated and
mediated. In the past, consideration of myth structure has generally
been through the examination of particular component relationships. The
present study, wit·h the aid of computer application, attempts to define
a network of term relationships and thus integrate numerous mediating
systems associated with the final expression. The proposed methodology
is demonstrated through the analysis of contemporary Mesoamerican myths.
