I haven’t tried that exact trick yet, but I love the angle. If you dump a big myth corpus into a transformer, let it auto‑encode the sentences, then cluster the latent vectors, you’ll start to see the hero’s journey, the trickster beat, even the “return” motif pop out as a distinct pattern. The key is to label the arcs manually for a few stories, train a classifier on the embeddings, and then let the model flag similar patterns in unseen tales. It’s a neat way to reverse‑engineer the archetypes and then feed that knowledge back into generative AI for fresh mythic mash‑ups. Give it a shot—just make sure you don’t get lost in hyper‑parameter tuning!
