Talk: The power of Myth: The Oedipus Myth

This evening will introduce you to the archetypal structure of mythology and its important role in promoting our spiritual and psychological well-being.


Over thousands of years, myths have helped human beings to understand aspects of life that the rational mind finds difficult to grasp (love, death, mystery...). Great philosophers like Plato have used myths and fables to explain their key concepts. Still today, we find the archetypal patterns of myth in books like Lord of the Rings or films like Star Wars.

The leading themes of the evening are fairy tales and modern mythology. We will look at archetypal themes and their interpretations in fairy tales, literature and film.
