Looking at the tendency to "see visions," C. Kerenyi examines the Mysteries of Eleusis from the standpoint not only of Greek myth but also of human nature. Kerenyi holds that the yearly autumnal "mysteries" were based on the ancient myth of Demeter's search for her ravished daughter Persephone--a search that he equates not only with woman's quest for completion but also with every person's pursuit of identity. As he explores what the content of the mysteries may have been for those who experienced them, he draws on the study of archaeology, objects of art, and religious history, and suggests rich parallels from other mythologies.</p> 1263189 1977 Eleusis: Archetypal Image of Mother and Daughter total:15|5:7|4:7|3:1| 15 66 31 1 4 0 false false Wed Dec 05 13:31:12 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 05 13:31:27 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Tue Oct 20 16:28:01 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 16:28:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 12:53:01 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 12:53:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 18 08:25:48 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 08:25:48 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jul 28 09:51:12 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 09:51:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 06 20:54:01 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 20:54:01 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 29 16:43:14 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 16:43:14 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 15 18:05:23 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 18:05:23 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Mar 21 06:41:06 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 06:41:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 12 20:39:45 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 20:39:45 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 30 03:23:11 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 03:23:11 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 06:56:20 -0800 2009 Mon Sep 14 08:54:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Dec 27 18:45:52 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 18:45:52 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 12 19:25:26 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 19:25:38 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Tue Oct 07 12:37:42 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 07 12:37:42 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 22 18:24:01 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 22 18:24:01 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Sep 11 06:22:13 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 06:22:13 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Aug 21 09:17:09 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 09:17:19 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Aug 19 19:55:55 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 19 19:55:55 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Jul 05 13:54:10 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 13:54:12 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1274228
