This article explores the early manifestations and genesis of the concept of an "ideal society" in mythological sources within the history of
human thought. The study provides a comparative analysis of perspectives on the "Golden Age," the "Garden of Iram" (Eden), and the
"Just Society" as depicted in the mythologies of various peoples. It highlights the role of social equality, justice, and prosperity reflected
in mythological plots in the formation of modern utopian teachings. Furthermore, the functional significance of myths in social regulation
and the image of the ideal ruler within them are analyzed.
