abstract:
Some scientiphic researches developped beginning from myths or cults (classic or christian) analisys don't usually have the same care they claim when they have to examine a particular given or apply a mathematic formula. Someone now thinks to "introduce" a new discipline (the Geomythology) without the particular knowledge (umanistic cultur) needle to keep data (correct places, times, descriptions of effects) of a natural violent phenomenon, taking out it from a legendary text or a narrative source. Difficults else grow when it wants to transform them in some evaluation parameters (like intensity, extension, hazard degree) for the phenomena taled in the past. This article helps to begin correctly the analisys of myths, traditional tales and legends or to reconstruct them where they have desappeared (the unwritten or covered up memory), leaving only sporadic traces in land and in local cultur (helpful, if you know how to find and understand them). The area of Mount Vulture has been taken to text them, exploring for example possible contacts of place names with the ancestral memory of prehistorical volcano activity.
