The some will be divided as follows: first, the Guarani myth of Iara will be analyzed, then will discuss the hunt for “witches”, the Greek myth of Héstia – the lady of the house, then we will talk about Judeo-Christian myth having as intersectional axis the oppressions caused by patriarchy and androcentrism.
