Apollo: The Wind, the Spirit, and the God - Paperback

by Jon Solomon (Translator), Karl Kerényi (Author)

Apollo-a popular favorite among Greek deities and yet most misunderstood of divine concepts. Here is the original Apollo, a mysterious light-and-dark force revealed by the renowned psychological mythographer, Karl Kerényi. The four chapters examine Apollonian cult, myth, and thought, ranging through such disparate symbols as the serpents at Delphi, the broom of Ion, the swans of the Phaedo, and the winds of the North.
