This article investigates the crown prince paradigm in Egyptian and Greek mythology through a comparative mythopoetic framework. Drawing upon the theoretical approaches of Mircea Eliade, Carl Jung, and comparative mythology, the study argues that succession narratives transform political inheritance into cosmological drama. The article examines two foundational succession models: the Egyptian Horus myth and the Greek Uranus –Kronos – Zeus sequence. While Egyptian mythology constructs legitimacy through sacred continuity and restoration of maat, Greek mythology conceptualizes succession through generational conflict, rebellion, and cosmic reorganization. Through comparative analysis, the study demonstrates that the crown prince archetype functions as a symbolic mediator between chaos and order, mortality and divine authority, historical instability and sacred continuity. The article further argues that succession myths reveal ancient civilizations’ philosophical anxieties regarding power transfer, legitimacy, and the preservation of cosmic harmony. Ultimately, the research establishes succession mythology as one of the foundational mythopoetic structures through which human societies conceptualized lawful sovereignty and political transformation.
