A Must Read for Anyone Interested in the Trickster,
By Mark Holland (Kingsport, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hermes, Guide of Souls: The Mythologem of the Masculine Source of Life (Dunquin Series, No 7) (Paperback)
Kerenyi's book offers the most profound and interesting discussion of the trickster I have yet run across, although it is one of the briefest of books on the subject. Of course, he discusses the trickster in his ancient Greek avatar, but that is important for it allows him to make familiar connections which lead down, down to Hermes' chthonic meanings--and that is where the mystery of this god springs from. You will always learn a great deal from reading anything by this "renegade" of classicists, and this book is one of his best.
