Since Freud published the Interpretation of Dreams in 1900 and
utilized Sophocles' Oedipus Rex to work through his developing
ideas about the psycho-sexual development of children, it has been
virtually impossible to think about psychoanalysis without
reference to classical myth. Myth has the capacity to transcend the
context of any particular retelling, continuing to transform our
understanding of the present. Throughout the twentieth century,
experts on the ancient world have turned to the insights of
psychoanalytic criticism to supplement and inform their readings of
classical myth and literature.
This volume examines the inter-relationship of classical myth and
psychoanalysis from the generation before Freud to the present day,
engaging with debates about the role of classical myth in
modernity, the importance of psychoanalytic ideas for cultural
critique, and its ongoing relevance to ways of conceiving the self.
The chapters trace the historical roots of terms in everyday usage,
such as narcissism and the phallic symbol, in the reception of
Classical Greece, and cover a variety of both classical and
psychoanalytic texts.
