Myth and culture may have more in common with their origins than we might initially think. If we add into the mix civilization, then the texture thickens and becomes more complex.

James Hillman helps us here in providing these distinctions: “Civilization works, culture flowers. Civilization looks ahead, culture looks back. Civilization is historical record; culture a mythic enterprise” (City and Soul, 138).

Course Description

While myth originally meant story or narrative, it is more than that: it is also a belief system to guide us, show us our deepest values and offer our lives coherence. Divinities are one potent way that myths are revealed to us in the styles we adopt to give our lives meaning and purpose.

Each class in this course pays close attention to the presence of a specific god or gods of the Greek Parthenon.
Dennis reveals the way these figures haunt our current, often frenzied, modern life. They are made present to meditate on given their involvement in our daily routine.

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • You are interested in myths as inspirational guides, and how they point us to our own psychic life.
  • You are interested in gaining clarity as to which myths, gods or goddesses are potentially playing out in your own life.
  • You want to know how to read a myth psychologically and personally.
  • You want to explore what value myths have for our contemporary world.
