Ancient Greece, Modern Psyche

This book challenges us to remember that the realm of psyche is older, broader, and deeper than we commonly imagine and that as psyche's realm manifests itself through dreams, myths, poems, art-such as the ancient Theran frescoes-and other creative works, archetypes are continually in the making. The contributors explore ancient and modern themes of initiation, trauma, gender, journey, homecoming, and love. Never before has there been such a committed and sustained exploration of how the images, dramas, and energies of Greek myth are still vitally alive in our dreams and imaginations and in the mythic structures of our lives.
