"Puruṣa". *Nouvelle Mythologie Comparée* v1, 2013. ## Abstract > The myth of the cosmic giant has often been considered in the past as a universal archetype, because it could be found everywhere in the world. But if one wants to focus on the precise distribution of the myth in space and in time, we must recognize that the myth is Indo-European and has recently spread around the world.
