About this book

In and Out of the Mind by Padel, Ruth. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780691073798.

Ruth Padel explores Greek conceptions of human innerness and the way in which Greek tragedy shaped European notions of mind and self. Arguing that Greek poetic language connects images of consciousness, even male consciousness, with the darkness attributed to Hades and to women, Padel analyzes tragedys biological and daemonological metaphors for what is within.
