``Gollnick has collated and made accessible a large number of interpretations of an important myth. This in itself is an invaluable service in respect to Freudian material which is out of print.... Second, this study opens the way to other comparative studies of psychodynamic interpretations of myth.... Finally, Gollnick's comparative study of the Psyche and Eros myth demonstrates the value of the contemporary psychological study of myth.'' -- The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal
