Furio Jesi (May 19, 1941 - June 17, 1980) was an Italian historian, writer, archaeologist, and philosopher.
The only son of "war hero" Bruno Jesi, Furio Jesi was an independent scholar of myth, Egyptology, history of Mediterranean religions, philology and archeology, most notable for his work on extending the ideas of Károly Kerényi including studies of the science of myth and the difference between classic Myths and "Technified Myths".
With no formal degree, Jesi published, beginning at the age of 15, a series of studies on the world of ancient Greece and Egypt, including on the topic of mythological themes and mystery cults. His focus on the consistency of myths in modern times has influenced political activists like the Wu Ming collective in Italy.
Jesi was also an active translator and consultant for Italian publishers on the topic of German literature.
Jesi died at age 39 of carbon monoxide poisoning at his home in Genoa, Italy.
