Do the ancient Greek poets, playwrights, philosophers and
mythologies have anything to say to modern human beings? Is their
time finished, or do their insights have as much relevance to the
human condition as they did 2,500 years ago? When the Soul
Remembers Itself continues the exploration of the connections
between ancient and modern psyche with a resounding affirmation of
its ongoing relevance. Uniquely combining poetry, drama and
storytelling in a pioneering collection, an international selection
of contributors each explore a character, myth or theme from
ancient Greece in the context of its relevance to the modern
psyche. Each author enters an imaginative dialogue that pieces and
bridges together fragments of the past with the present, exploring
themes such as initiation, war, love, paranoia, tragedy and the
soul's journey through the vicissitudes of life on earth, through
characters such as Ajax, Persephone, Orpheus, Electra, the Apostle
Paul, Perpetua and Jocasta. Understanding myth is crucial in
Jungian analysis, and by connecting the modern person with the
age-old questions of life and death, the contributors bring truly
archetypal narratives to life and speak to the human condition
throughout the ages. When the Soul Remembers Itself will be of
great interest to academics and students of Jungian and
post-Jungian studies, classics, ancient religion, archetypal
studies and mythology. As the contributors' conclusions apply to
both contemporary theory and clinical practice, it will also appeal
to Jungian analysts and psychotherapists in practice and training.
