Abstract – The importance of comparing mythologies allow us to fill in the gaps between events as well as overview previously overshadowed connections between societies and civilizations. The paper endeavors to analyze archetypes in Hindu, Greek, and Egyptian mythologies to focus on recurring themes, divine figures, and narrative structures. Prototypes like Yama, Hades, and Osiris illustrate shared views on death and the afterlife, while figures like Indra, Zeus, and Ra reflect converging mythic portrayals of cosmic power and creation. Female figures such as Sita, Helen, and Persephone reveal parallel narratives of sacrifice. By identifying these commonalities, the paper uncovers shared human experiences and potential historical cultural exchanges, enriching our understanding of global mythology.
