"In its modern concept, myth is a behavioral paradigm, a semiological system of some external referent. Based on this, this paper argues that Stéphane Mallarmé's poem "A Throw of the Dice" acquires mythical status, both because of its cosmogonic character - commonly ignored by critics - and because of its formal innovation - a fact that consecrated it, and from which perspective it is only remembered. As a result, throughout the 20th century he underwent a process of mythification, being promoted to the status of one of the most important sources of inspiration for recent and contemporary poetry. In order to make this approach possible, we sought to delimit the study of the proposed text in correlation with its recreation in Portuguese by Haroldo de Campos."
