Abstract
The biographical links between Michel Foucault and the comparative mythologist and philologist Georges Dumézil have received more attention than their intellectual connections. This article contributes by surveying Foucault's engagements, from a 1957 radio lecture to his late lectures at the Collège de France. Particular focus is on lectures on structuralism and history in 1970, some references between 1970 and 1981, and the use of Dumézil's work in each of Foucault's two final courses at the Collège de France. In each, Foucault takes up Dumézil's analyses of mythology in developing his own projects concerning history and antiquity.
