Christine Downing has graced the campus of San Diego State
University, returning like Persephone each spring for the past ten
years to deliver the annual lecture named in her honor. Printed
here in their entirety, the talks are autobiographical, poetical,
literary musings on the subjects that have occupied her for the
past ten years, including the Holocaust, memory, the Bible, the
Goddess, Martin Buber, Sigmund Freud, the myth of Orpheus, Greek
tragedy, and the Imagist poet H.D.
Professor Downing's extensive publications on the role of myth
in the psychologies of Freud and Jung, and in the contemporary
quest for self-understanding, have made her an original source in
these fields. Her books include "The Goddess: Mythological
Representations of the Feminine," "Psyche's Sisters," "Journey
through Menopause," and "Myths and Mysteries of Same Sex Love,"
