Description
Summary:This book examines the inter-relationship of classical myth and psychoanalysis from the generation before Freud to the present day, engaging with debates about the reception of classical myth by modernity, the importance of psychoanalytic ideas for cultural critique, and its on-going 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, and cover a variety of both classical and psychoanalytic texts.
