Thesis submitted to the University of Athens interpreting some Greek mythical elements in the writings of the Australian novelist Patrick White."Patrick White: Magna Mater and Her Son-Lover examines intensively nine novels by the Australian Nobel prize-winner Patrick White. The writer views the novels as a sequence following the circular pattern of the artist's spiritual quest, the mythological Odyssey, and the psychological process of individuation. The whole individual is defined by Jung as the one who can reconcile the conscious and the unconscious, while Homer presented the same individual as the wise Odysseus. Interestingly, White visualizes the whole individual in the twentieth century as the one who recovers and establishes a relationship with the roots of human existence, vegetative, and animal life, in other words, the universe" Includes a facsimile of an entertaining letter by PW commenting on his reception of ths thesis. 455p. bibliography.
