The only son of "war hero" Bruno Jesi, Furio Jesi was an independent scholar of myth, Egyptology, history of Mediterranean religions, philology and archeology, most notable for his work on extending the ideas of Karl Kerényi including studies of the science of myth and the difference between classic Myths and "Technified Myths".

Testo complesso (a volte inutilmente, a mio avviso) che spazia attraverso le prospettive dello studio della cosiddetta "scienza del mito", divagando spesso e volentieri. Alcuni spunti interessanti ma nulla di più.
