In 21^st century early decades it is not senseless to relate the terms 'myth' and 'pedagogy', especially on the basis that myth is essentially a narrative act. It is highlighted that narrative is -must be- a constituent factor in all the stages the progressive and not always successful building of the human being passes through in this world. Despite the bodily senses and the inherent attributes of the human condition, without narrative it is not possible to reach fully human status, which consists mainly in the ability each one has to turn himself/herself into words, and to build and turn into words the reality from the languages transmitted by those identified as 'host structures' (co-offspring, co-residency, co-transcendence, and co-mediation), whose primary mission is to provide languages for the human being in every season of his/her biographical journey, from birth to death.

Keywords : pedagogy; myth; culture; language; group.
