Book excerpt: Eros: The Myth of Ancient Greek Sexuality is a controversial book that lays bare the meanings Greeks gave to sex. Contrary to the romantic idealization of sex dominating our culture, the Greeks saw eros as a powerful force of nature, potentially dangerous and in need of control by society: Eros the Destroyer, not Cupid the Insipid, is what fired the Greek imagination. The destructiveness of eros can be seen in Greek imagery and metaphor, and in their attitudes toward women and homosexuals. Images of love as fire, disease, storms, insanity, and violence—top 40 song clichés for us—locate eros among the unpredictable and deadly forces of nature. The beautiful Aphrodite embodies the alluring danger of sex, and femmes fatales like Pandora and Helen represent the risky charms of female sexuality. And homosexuality typifies for the Greeks the frightening power of an indiscriminate appetite that threatens the stability of culture itself. In Eros: The Myth of Ancient Greek Seualily, Bruce Thornton offers a uniquely sweeping and comprehensive account of ancient sexuality free of currently fashionable theoretical jargon and pretensions. In its conclusions the book challenges the distortions of much recent scholarship on Greek sexuality. And throughout it links the wary attitudes of the Greeks to our present-day concerns about love, sex, and family. What we see, finally, are the origins of some of our own views as well as a vision of sexuality that is perhaps more honest and mature than our own dangerous illusions.

Book excerpt: This narrative has three related intentions. The first, and primary in sheer volume of discussion, is to consider Greek and Latin literature as a prism through which Greco-Roman civilization may be understood, but through the specific lens of the interweave of two concepts, eros (love) and eris (strife). Neither of these apparently opposed modes of human behavior is presented without the other; the two are repeatedly intertwined with each other, from the description of how our world came into being to the various threads of epic and lyric poetry that offer accounts of human-divine, divine-divine and human-human interaction. Thus, beginning with Hesiod's Theogony and the surviving Homeric epics, (the Iliad and the Odyssey), I go on to consider Greek lyric, tragic and comic poetry-from Sappho and Pindar to Aiskhylos and Sophokles and Euripides to Aristophanes to Menander-and in turn I observe how the issue of eros/eris further plays out in Roman poetry, from Lucretius and Virgil to the panoply of lyric poets that includes Catullus as well as Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid on the one hand and satirists like Juvenal on the other. The theme plays out in the most serious and the most humorous of modes. A briefer discussion-a kind of interlude-will include Plato (specifically, the Symposium) and a consideration of the visual arts will single out a handful of works in which this theme is particularly well represented, offering a complement to the literary articulation. My intention is to draw conclusions regarding this aspect of Greco-Roman culture while recognizing differences inherent in Greek versus Roman thinking that mark them both as a continuum and as distinct from each other. In what amounts to an extended epilogue, the third component of my narrative traces the eros/eris theme as it continues to play out in Western literature, suggesting this theme as one of the many instruments through which Western civilization erects a complex edifice built on Greek and Roman-and Hebrew biblical (included in this epilogue)-foundations. The discussion extends beyond the Bible to the Chanson de Roland to Dante's Divine Comedy to Pierre Corneille's Le Cid to Nikos Kazantsakis' The Odyssey: A Sequel to the magnificent contemporary poem by Nobel-prize-winner, Derek Walcott, Omeros, and to the musical, West Side Story. More simply put-given my inclusion of a discussion of the Baghavad Gita with respect to this theme-I ask how all of this might reflect more broadly and deeply on what humans are about, across the range of our cultures and civilizations, West and East.

Download or read book The Myth of Analysis written by James Hillman and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, acclaimed Jungian James Hillman examines the concepts of myth, insights, eros, body, and the mytheme of female inferiority, as well as the need for the freedom to imagine and to feel psychic reality. By examining these ideas, and the role they have played both in and outside of the therapeutic setting, Hillman mounts a compelling argument that, rather than locking them away in some inner asylum or subjecting them to daily self-treatment, man's "peculiarities" can become an integral part of a rich and fulfilling daily life. Originally published by Northwestern University Press in 1972, this work had a profound impact on a nation emerging self-aware from the 1960s, as well as on the era's burgeoning feminist movement. It remains a profound critique of therapy and the psychological viewpoint, and it is one of Hillman's most important and enduring works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time A book about romantic love, Eros the Bittersweet is Anne Carson's exploration of the concept of "eros" in both classical philosophy and literature. Beginning with, "It was Sappho who first called eros 'bittersweet.' No one who has been in love disputes her," Carson examines her subject from numerous points of view, creating a lyrical meditation in the tradition of William Carlos Williams's Spring and All and William H. Gass's On Being Blue. Epigrammatic, witty, ironic, and endlessly entertaining, Eros is an utterly original book.

Book excerpt: The Four Loves is a 1960 book by C. S. Lewis which explores the nature of love from a Christian and philosophical perspective through thought experiments. The book was based on a set of radio talks from 1958 which had been criticized in the U.S. at the time for their frankness about sex. C.S. Lewis examines storge or empathy love; philia, friendship love; eros, romantic love; and agape, or God love. Excerpt: "GOD is love," says St. John. When I first tried to write this book I thought that his maxim would provide me with a very plain highroad through the whole subject. I thought I should be able to say that human loves deserved to be called loves at all just in so far as they resembled that Love which is God."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tackles the problematic relationship between Platonic philosophy and Romantic poetry, between the intellect and the emotions. Drawing on contemporary critical theory, especially hermeneutics and deconstruction, the author shows that a dialogue between thinking and poetizing is possible. The volume yields many new insights into both Platonic and Romantic texts and forms an important work for scholars and students of Greek philosophy, Romantic literature and critical theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The God of Love loses his heart to a mortal girl in this timeless tale of passion, devotion and eternal love. Eros is the goddess Aphrodite's son and servant, shooting his love-tipped arrows at gods and humans alike to stir their passions for good or ill. When his mother becomes jealous of Psyche, the beautiful daughter of a king, Eros is sent to seal the girl's doom - but with a scratch from his own arrow, he falls in love with her himself. Psyche wants more from life than to be married off to a suitor of her father's choosing. The Oracle foretells she will marry the "Almighty Monster, to whom men and gods alike are enslaved," and she is abandoned to meet her woeful fate. Instead, she is spirited away to a spectacular palace and discovers tenderness and passion in the arms of her mysterious, invisible husband: Eros. Yet mistrust shatters their bliss, and Psyche must win back her beloved through many labors at the hands of the beautiful and cruel Aphrodite.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word, Eros, names not only a Greek god of love, but also an asteroid! What does an ecstatic filled epiphany of empathic compassionate fulfillment have to do with a hard and lifeless, rocky chunk of matter? Eros: Faces of Love fearlessly enters the spiral labyrinth of this paradox. With penetratingly tender reflection and bold confessional scrutiny, the author ponders whether love is the arrival of a “longed for gift” or the disaster of “an unexpected meteor”. As sensual descriptions reveal the ecstatic delight of “islands of paradise”, passionate metaphors uncover rocky “hidden coves of scorn”. Can unsettled dreams temper the hectic race to make space ‘to love’? Can fond remembrances call one home to rest and simply let space open ‘for love’? Eros: Faces of Love opens the space of the heart for both the lover and the beloved to find out.
