Between ancient Greece and modern psyche lies a divide of not only
three thousand years, but two cultures that are worlds apart in
art, technology, economics and the accelerating flood of historical
events. This unique collection of essays from an international
selection of contributors offers compelling evidence for the
natural connection and relevance of ancient myth to contemporary
psyche, and emerges from the second 'Ancient Greece, Modern Psyche'
conference held in Santorini, Greece, in 2012. This volume is a
powerful homecoming for those seeking a living connection between
the psyche of the ancients and our modern psyche. This book looks
at eternal themes such as love, beauty, death, suicide, dreams,
ancient Greek myths, the Homeric heroes and the stories of Demeter,
Persephone, Apollo and Hermes as they connect with themes of the
modern psyche. The contributors propose that that the link between
them lies in the underlying archetypal patterns of human behaviour,
emotion, image, thought, and memory. Ancient Greece, Modern Psyche:
Archetypes Evolving makes clear that an essential part of
deciphering our dilemmas resides in a familiarity with Western
civilization's oldest stories about our origins, our suffering, and
the meaning or meaninglessness in life. It will be of great
interest to Jungian psychotherapists, academics and students as
well as scholars of classics and mythology.
