When I was in my late thirties I went into Gleebooks in Sydney to get a book, and another book, the 'Myth of Analysis' by James Hillman fell off the shelf, and threw itself onto my lap.
And I started looking through that book, and what strange ideas it had, Apollo who had a ‘cool distant reason’. Hermes who was a mercurial as a messenger of the gods, and a god of thresholds and boundaries(and who stole some of Apollo's cattle). Aphrodite/Venus who reveals the world as a display of beauty. And Dionysus who was known as the ‘loosener’ and probably more likely to be found out in the fields or the hills and was closer to the earth, the body and nature.
