Description

Ancient Greek poets, playwrights, philosophers and mythologies continue to offer insights into the human condition. This collection explores their relevance to modern psychology, combining poetry, drama and storytelling to bridge the past with the present. The contributors examine characters from ancient Greece in the context of their relevance to the modern psyche, exploring themes such as initiation, war, love, paranoia, tragedy and the soul's journey through life. By connecting the modern person with age-old questions of life and death, they bring archetypal narratives to life and speak to the human condition throughout the ages. This book will be of interest to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, classics, ancient religion, archetypal studies and mythology. Its conclusions apply to both contemporary theory and clinical practice, making it relevant to Jungian analysts and psychotherapists in training.
