Abstract

The Myth of Oedipus may be regarded as the founding myth of psychoanalysis. Jungian contributions to the Oedipal literature remain less well known than contributions from Freudians. This paper attempts to survey some of the more important contributions by Jungian authors including Jung, Neumann, Campbell, Edinger and Gee as well as the Freudian psychoanalyst, Parsons, writing in a Jungian journal. It is hoped that this introduction to Jungian ways of appreciating the Oedipal myth may encourage dialogue between the two branches of psychoanalysis.
