Riassunto

This brilliant book brings Pan back to life by following C. G. Jung's famous saying: "The Gods have become our diseases." Chapters on nightmare panic, on masturbation, rape and nympholepsy, on instinct and synchronicity, and on Pan's female loves-echo, Syrinx, Selene, and the Muses-show the goat-God at work and play in the dark drives and creative passions of our lives. Hillman's insights present the archetypal figure in the depths of nature and archetypal psychology as a method of revelation.Pan and the Nightmare (which includes a full translation of Wilhelm Roscher's masterful 19th-century mythological-pathological treatise on Pan and the demons of the night) is the most radical study of this God ever undertaken.

Product Description:

If you ever read Peter Pan, you got a watered-down version of the god behind the boy. This book tells you what the real thing was about. Not Wendy and Peter, but a dirty, goatish, horned monster that the Greeks called Pan. Wilhelm Roscher tried to save the god Pan from 19th-century materialists who had reduced him to an idea. James Hillman, discovering Roscher, and realizing that Pan was vanishing once again, this time to the laboratory psychologists of the 1950s, may have saved him for another generation.
