Achilles' Rage & The Gods' Wisdom: Emotional Intelligence & Self Control in Homer's Iliad

Homer's Iliad is the oldest work of European literature and forms the foundation of the Western canon. Not only does this ancient epic tell the story of the Trojan War, it contains profound emotional truths that have been understood from ancient times through the Renaissance and is harmonious with classical teachings of self discipline and the psychology of Carl Jung. Understanding the Greek Gods through an archetypal lens reveals an ancient roadmap for self improvement and overcoming anger and trauma. Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.” Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!
