The Eternal Drama: The Inner Meaning of Greek Mythology Edinger Edward F.Paperback
Zeus, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Athena--do the gods and goddesses of Greece have anything to say to us that we haven't already heard? Edinger revisits all the major figures, myths, oracles, and legends of the ancient Greek religion to discover what they can still reveal--representing, as they do, one of the religious and mythic foundations of Western culture. In this book, based on a series of his lectures, the eminent Jungian analyst and writer Edward F.
Jung's assertion that mythology is an expression of the deepest layers of mind and soul, Dr. Building on C. G. Edinger follows the mythic images into their persistent manifestations in literature and on into our modern lives.
He finds that the gods indeed continue to speak as we grow in our capacity to listen and that the myths express the inner energies within all of us as much as ever. Heracles is eternally performing his labors, Perseus is still confronting Medusa, Theseus is forever stalking the Minotaur, and Persephone is still being carried off to life in a new realm.
