Imágenes primigenias de la religión griega

Primal Images of Greek Religion is an essential work that shows us the best Kerényi, erudite and sagacious, and offers us a tour that is as educational as it is exciting through various themes and aspects of the mythology and archaic cults of Ancient Greece. Whether performing a fascinating analysis of the figure of Asclepius, son of Apollo and deity of medicine, and in turn tracing a kind of prehistory of the medical profession; either by studying the elusive Hermes in his role as a psychopomp and in his relationship with the underworld; either by approaching an enigmatic and primitive mystery cult professed to some obscure chthonic deities in Samothrace; or interpreting the myth of Prometheus, the fallen titan who stole divine fire to give it to men and was punished by Zeus, Kerényi displays, at all times, an admirable intuition and capacity for inquiry.
