About This Item
Syracuse, NY Syracuse University Press, 1987. Hardcover First Edition; First Printing indicated. First Edition; First Printing indicated. Fine in Fine DJ: Book shows binding square and secure; text clean. DJ unclipped; mylar-protected. As New. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. xi, 301pp. Hardback with DJ. The Road to Daulis is the first book-length study of the uses and abuses of classical mythology in psychoanalysis and psychology. Eisner covers the whole range of such uses made of nine selected classical myths, including Oedipus, Electra, Daimon, Dionysus, Apollo, Eros, and Psyche; however, he argues no particular ideology or theoretical approach. This book introduces the reader to the myths and to the sometimes hilarious interpretations inflicted on them by Freud, Jung, and many others. It fills in the appropriate historical and literary backgrounds and suggests the ways that myth and analysis can illuminate each other if both are taken with respect but without blind devotion.
