Archetypes: Mythology & Psychology

Catalog description

You may be familiar with the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece, perhaps through the adventures of Percy Jackson, or perhaps through reading the Odyssey or the Illiad. But, have you thought of these ancient deities as blueprints for personality types? And do you know which one you would be? Are you more of a Zeus, or an Ares? Do you relate more to Hera, or to Athena? In this course, we will explore the intersection between theories of myth and theories of psychology. In so doing, we will gain a deeper understanding of myth, theories of personality, and ultimately, ourselves.
