The slIIdy is confined TO the functions and significance of the recurrent mythical images and archetypal patterns represented ill the aforementioned pieces of oral songs, Zeyera.

The method used to analyze the data is archetypal criticism. It deals with archetypes which are primordial images perceived across cultures, inherited from time immemorial, issuing from a 'collective unconsciolls '. All archetype is a mythic symbol, which is deeply rooted in the unconscious, more broadly based all afounda/ion of universal nature than all ordinary literary symbol, and is more generally expressive of the elemental in man and natllre (lung: 1959; Bodkin: 1961). The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the oral poets' lise of recurrent mythical images and archetypal pallerns in their efforts to communicare their visions of life.
