Abstract
This article vindicates the mythical character of the Faustian tragedy of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe by relating its plot configuration with the hero’s symbolic itinerary. For this, the mythical structures predetermined by Gilbert Durand, Lévi-Strauss and Joseph Campbell are taken as a basis. In the first two sections Faust is diachronically compared with the mythical figure of the hero, and in the next two sections, each part of the work is related in a synchronic and specific way to the proper mythemes of the hero myth.
