Jungian Ever After | Orpheus – Archetypal Grief and Failure to Grieve


Listen Later

While our last episode discussed Orpheus through the lens of archetypal creativity, this episode focuses on the grief elements of the story as depicted in Ovid’s version of the story. We share our own grief stories and explore the hazards experienced when people do not allow themselves to grieve.

This episode we will be reading from:

  • Metamorphoses – by Ovid⁠⁠⁠
  • Parables and Portraits – by Stephen Mitchell
  • Orpheus. Euridice. Hermes. – by Rainer Maria Rilke
  • You can listen to El Maleh Rachamim prayer on My Jewish Learning here. This prayer asks God to grant rest to departed souls and is often recited at funerals.

    Our intro/outro music a sample of Seikilos Epitaph with the Lyre of Apollo, by Lina Palera, under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 International License. You can find the full version at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FreeMusicArchive.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
