Orpheus - Archetypal Grief and Failure to Grieve

from Jungian Ever After · host Raisa Cabrera and Dr. Adina Davidson

While our last episode discussed Orpheus through the lens of archetypal creativity, this episode focuses on the grief elements of the story as depicted in Ovid's version of the story.
