At least three major questions can be asked of myth: What is its subject matter? What is its origin? and What is its function? C G Jung's theory is one of the few that purports to answer fully all three questions. This volume collects and organizes the key passages on myth by Jung himself and by some of the prominent Jungian writers after him.
