Cupid and Psyche: The Transformation of Femininity in Myth
14.99 €
The myth of Cupid and Psyche is the story of a lonely soul's journey in search of eternal love. Rooted in antiquity, it represents a complex fusion of ancient notions of ideal lovers and philosophical concepts of the immortal human essence, forced to submit to universal laws. The figure of Psyche simultaneously combines the archetypes of the Mistress (like Aphrodite), the Wife (like Hera), and the Mother (like Demeter). Psychoanalyst and follower of C.G. Jung, Erich Neumann, analyzes female psychology, interpreting the meaning of the ancient myth as the desire of the female soul—Psyche—to overcome her inherent archetypal femininity.
The publication is supplemented by an excerpt from Apuleius's novel "Metamorphoses, or The Golden Ass," translated by M.A. Kuzmin, containing an exposition of the myth of Cupid and Psyche.
