Fate, Love, and Ecstasy Wisdom from the Lesser-Known Goddesses of the Greeks

Many Greek gods and goddesses have given modern psychologists powerful portraits of various personality types. In this book, however, analyst John Sanford turns his attention to the lesser-known goddesses: Ananke (goddess of necessity), Peitho (goddess of persuasion), the Fates, the Furites, Ate (goddess of folly), Aidos (goddess of modesty), and the Three Charites (beauty, good cheer, and abundance). These figures, which represent the subtler and deeper elements of the psyche, are seldom mentioned in Jungian literature. Sanford draws from various stories, plays, and poems to illustrate the goddesses' source of spiritual meaning and their role as the personification of the energies that truly run our souls.Sanford, John A. is the author of 'Fate, Love, and Ecstasy Wisdom from the Lesser-Known Goddesses of the Greeks' with ISBN 9780933029965 and ISBN 0933029969.
