The analysis restores both the historicity of myth by analyzing its meaning and context of creation, and its effectiveness in the present. The main hypothesis of this paper is that myth not only operates by inflicting terror -a significant component previously addressed in other studies-, but it is also a long-range power initiative that is still prevailing in the territory. The methodology consists of an ethnographic research developed in the rural district of Santa Ana, located southwest of the Province of Tucumán, Argentina, from 2015 to 2018. Primary and secondary sources were analyzed to revisit the historicity of myth. El artículo consiste en un análisis etnográfico sobre El Familiar, uno de los mitos más difundidos en el noroeste argentino. El estudio recupera la historicidad del mito –analizándolo en sus contextos de producción y significación– así como su operatividad en el presente. La tesis principal que se sostiene es que el mito opera no solo en la imposición del terror –importante componente ya abordado por otros estudios– sino en una iniciativa de poder de largo alcance que aún se dirime en el territorio. La metodología está basada en una investigación etnográfica desarrollada en la comuna rural de Santa Ana, ubicada al suroeste de la provincia de Tucumán, Argentina, entre los años 2015 y 2018. De modo complementario, se realizó el análisis de fuentes primarias y secundarias que permiten recuperar la historicidad del mito.
