In Science of Mythology, Carl Jung and Carl Kerenyi collaborate to elevate the study of mythology into a scientific discipline. Kerenyi focuses on two central myths—the Divine Child and The Maiden—offering a detailed introduction and conclusion to these pervasive stories. Jung contributes a psychological analysis, defining myth as a narrative about heroes interacting with gods. Drawing from his extensive study of dreams and the unconscious, Jung introduces the concept of archetypes—universal patterns in the psyche that have developed over time. These archetypes still shape modern reactions to contemporary fears, from nuclear annihilation to pandemics like AIDS and Ebola. This work explores how ancient mythic themes continue to play out in the modern world, reflecting ongoing human struggles.
