Abstract

In the course of humanity's evolution, the myth served as an element of social integration, counting on cultural, religious and moral aspects. It serves to explain phenomena that cannot be proven or validated by scientific means. In other words, there is an acceptance of the myth's veracity, even if it lacks scientific evidence. Ancient Greece was the scene of wide use of myths to explain the world, its phenomena and social relations. There, the myth served to establish values ​​that are part of the idea of ​​justice. The uproar about the contribution of myths to the development of the idea of ​​justice is based on the assumption that the human being needs, somehow, to be able to understand the facts and circumstances that permeate the idea of ​​justice. As much as human civilization has already evolved to the point of refuting the explanation of most of the myths, its heritage in the affirmation of values ​​exists to this day, being even an object of debate among legal operators. The myth helped to shape an idea of ​​justice that spread socially and culturally
