Abstract
The author discusses the importance of humor in traditional society. Taking the North American Indians of the Great Plains as a case, he examines the sacred and religious significance of clowns in archaic society, arguing that the bases thereof are rooted in the mythological worldview. Considering the rites related to the cult of the sacred clown, one can ascertain the affinity between the behavior of their actors with the one of present day clowns, as well as holy fools in the Christian culture.
