A lively combination of scholarship and unorthodoxy makes these studies in ancient history and literature unusually reward­ing. Few of the objects of conventional admiration gain much support from Peter Green (Pericles and the 'democracy' of fifth-century Athens are treated to a very cool scrutiny) but he has a warm regard for the real virtues of antiquity and for those who spoke with 'an individual voice'.

The studies cover both history and literature, Greece and Rome. They range from the real nature of Athenian society to poets as diverse as Sappho and Juvenal, and all of them, without labouring any parallels, make the ancient world immedi­ately relevant to our own. (There is, for example, a very perceptive essay on how classical history often becomes a vehicle for the historian's own political beliefs and fantasies of power.)

The student of classical history will find plenty in this book to enrich his own studies. The general reader will enjoy the vision of a classical world which differs radically from what he probably expects.

"A brilliant investigation of psychoanalytic misuse of myth.

"A critique of Freud's famed use of the Oedipus myth forms the opening salvo of Eisner's basic argument: that psychoanalysis has, with the best of intentions, misread mythology more often than not. Eisner's dispute is not with Freudian psychology per se; he accepts, with reservations, the content of what F reud called the Oedipus complex. Rather, his aim is to preserve the pristine value of myth, in danger of suffocation from psychoanalytic co-options."—Kirkus Reviews

"The work is iconoclastic in the best possible sense (e.g., the humane and caring idol-smashing of the Hebrew prophets). Eisner continues the work that Brown and Marcuse have begun in the wake of Freud, Laing in the wake of the Existentialist entourage, and Hillman in the varietal wavings of Jung. But Eisner goes well beyond Brown and Marcuse, Laing and Hill-man. This is truly a next step in the field."—David L. Miller, Syracuse University

"A brilliant book, intelligently written, never lacking in wit and interest."—David L. Miller, Syracuse University

"Eisner's elegant style can be enjoyed by all; but those with a passion for psychoanalysis or myth will find much to chew on here."—Kirkus Reviews

Over eighty years ago, in a letter to D. E. Op-penheim, Freud expressed the wish that a classicist should produce a study of the Greek and Roman myths in the light of psychoanalytic principles and thereby bolster his movement with more evidence. The Road to Daulis is the first book-length study of the uses and abuses of classical mythology in psychoanalysis and psychology. Eisner covers the whole range of such uses made of nine selected classical myths, including Oedipus, Electra, Daimon, Dionysus, Apollo, Eros, and Psyche; however, he argues for no particular ideology or theoretical approach.

This book introduces the reader to the myths and to the sometimes hilarious interpretations inflicted on them by Freud, Jung, and many others. It fills in the appropriate historical and literary backgrounds and suggests the ways that myth and analysis can illuminate each other if both are taken with respect but without blind devotion. The combination of critical analysis and constructive interpretation of a broad scope of materials will interest both specialist readers and those who simply want to know what the myths mean for the nature of the self.

Eisner's work, while deeply informed by scholarship, challenges the very categories of scholarship and is, moreover, animated by his vision of life.
