Essays on a Science of Mythology is a cooperative work between C. Ker nyi, who has been called "the most psychological of mythologists," and C. G. Jung, who has been called "the most mythological of psychologists." Ker nyi contributes an essay on the Divine Child and one on the Kore (the Maiden), together with a substantial introduction and conclusion. Jung contributes a psychological commentary on each essay. Both men hoped, through their collaboration, to elevate the study of mythology to the status of a science.

In "The Primordial Child in Primordial Times" Ker nyi treats the child-God as an enduring and significant figure in Greek, Norse, Finnish, Etruscan, and Judeo-Christian mythology. He discusses the Kore as Athena, Artemis, Hecate, and Demeter-Persephone, the mother-daughter of the Eleusinian mysteries. Jung speaks of the Divine Child and the Maiden as living psychological realities that provide continuing meaning in people's lives.

The investigations of C. Ker nyi are continued in a later study, Eleusis: Archetypal Image of Mother and Daughter (Princeton).

Small and Stiff, that’s what she said!
Refunded… this thing is cut small, has a short crotch area, like women’s pants and the material although nice is stiff with no give at all… gotta be a skinny dude to wear this one. I suggest a size or 2 up

Well made
Very well made. Fit 5'5 130lb preteen perfectly for a sneaker ball. The material is thick so keep that in mind if purchasing during a hot month.

Do not biy
Unfortunately this material is a great example of getting what you pay for. The fit is off and the material makes it so tacky.
