"Das Buch", urteilt Erhart Kästner, "ist für jeden Freund der Antike, jeden jungen, aber auch jeden erfahrenen, geradezu ein Geschenk. Da geht zum ersten Male seit Schwab von einem griechischen Götterbuche nicht nur Gelehrsamkeit, sondern auch Heiterkeit aus. Mit einem Worte: das Werk eines Meisters, das man künftig zur Hand haben muss, um sich immer wieder an ihm zu erfrischen." Karl Kerényi ist einer der wichtigsten Religionswissenschaftler des 20. Jahrhunderts. Geboren 1897 in Temesvár, gestorben 1973 bei Zürich, studierte klassische Philologie in Budapest und an verschiedenen deutschen Universitäten. Ab 1936 war er Professor für Religionswissenschaften in Pécs (Fünfkirchen), ab 1941 in Szeged. Er emigrierte 1943 in die Schweiz, wurde 1946/47 Gastprofessor in Basel und ab 1948 Forschungsleiter am C.G. Jung-Insitut in Zürich.

Götter, Menschen und Heroen - Teil 1 und 2 in einem Band

Mythologie der Griechen

Karl Kerényi presents here a beautiful, authoritative study of the great god Hermes whom the Greeks revered as Guides of Souls. Chapters on Hermes and Night, Hermes and Eros, and Hermes and the goddesses illuminate the complex role of Hermes in classical mythology, while also providing an archetypal background for the guiding of souls in psychotherapy. A vital contribution both to the study of the classics and the therapy of the soul.

Essays on a Science of Mythology is a cooperative work between C. Kerényi, who has been called the most psychological of mythologists, and C. G. Jung, who has been called the most mythological of psychologists. Kerényi contributes an essay on the Divine Child and one on the Kore (the Maiden), together with a substantial introduction and conclusion. Jung contributes a psychological commentary on each essay. Both men hoped, through their collaboration, to elevate the study of mythology to the status of a science. In The Primordial Child in Primordial Times Kerényi treats the child-God as an enduring and significant figure in Greek, Norse, Finnish, Etruscan, and Judeo-Christian mythology. He discusses the Kore as Athena, Artemis, Hecate, and Demeter-Persephone, the mother-daughter of the Eleusinian mysteries. Jung speaks of the Divine Child and the Maiden as living psychological realities that provide continuing meaning in people's lives. The investigations of C. Kerényi are continued in a later study, Eleusis: Archetypal Image of Mother and Daughter (Princeton).

Eleusis: Archetypal Image of Mother and Daughter

C. Kerényi

When Carl Jung and Carl Kerenyi got together to collaborate on this book, their aim was to elevate the study of mythology to a science. Kerenyi wrote on two of the most ubiquitous myths, the Divine Child and The Maiden, supporting the core 'stories' with both an introduction and a conclusion. Jung then provided a psychological analysis of both myths. He defined myth as a story about heroes interacting with the gods. Having long studied dreams and the subconscious, Jung identified certain dream patterns common to everyone. These 'archetypes' have developed through the centuries, and enable modern people to react to situations in much the same way as our ancestors. From nuclear annihilation to AIDS and Ebola, we continue to engage the gods in battle. Science of Mythology provides an account of the meaning and the purpose of mythic themes that is linked to modern life: the heroic battles between good and evil of yore are still played out, reflected in contemporary fears.

Introducción a la esencia de la mitología

En los ensayos aquí reunidos, inéditos en España, Karl Kerényi ilustra los múltiples aspectos (simbólicos, iconográficos, literarios, míticos, rituales) a través de los cuales toma cuerpo ;ya sea en las culturas prehistóricas como en las culturas antigua, medieval y moderna; la forma originaria del laberinto, signo enigmático que ha fascinado y obsesionado tanto al pensamiento religioso como al filosófico, psicológico y artístico de cada época. Para Kerényi, la imagen del laberinto ha de ser buscada en una danza ritual y memorial, en un viaje de iniciación a los infiernos donde hay que aprender el camino de regreso y la emergencia a la luz. El dédalo de recorridos intrincados con el que el mito griego quiso representar el misterioso teatro de la lucha de Teseo contra el Minotauro, llega a ser así la más extraordinaria y luminosa metáfora de la reflexión y de la búsqueda.
