"Essays on a Science of Mythology" is a cooperative work between
C. Kerenyi, who has been called "the most psychological of
mythologists," and C. G. Jung, who has been called "the most
mythological of psychologists." Kerenyi contributes an essay on the
Divine Child and one on the "Kore" (the Maiden), together with a
substantial introduction and conclusion. Jung contributes a
psychological commentary on each essay. Both men hoped, through
their collaboration, to elevate the study of mythology to the
status of a science.
In "The Primordial Child in Primordial Times" Kerenyi treats the
child-God as an enduring and significant figure in Greek, Norse,
Finnish, Etruscan, and Judeo-Christian mythology. He discusses the
"Kore" as Athena, Artemis, Hecate, and Demeter-Persephone, the
mother-daughter of the Eleusinian mysteries. Jung speaks of the
Divine Child and the Maiden as living psychological realities that
provide continuing meaning in people's lives.
The investigations of C. Kerenyi are continued in a later study,
"Eleusis: Archetypal Image of Mother and Daughter"
(Princeton)."
