Georges Dumézil (French: [dymezil]; 4 March 1898 – 11 October 1986 Paris) was a French comparative philologist best known for his analysis of sovereignty and power in Proto-Indo-European religion and society. He is considered one of the major contributors to mythography in particular for his formulation of the trifunctional hypothesis of social class in ancient societies.
