Abstract

This article begins by comparing the influences of religion and mythology, then recounts the relationships within four families and sibling groups of Greek mythology — Zeus, Medea, Antigone and Agamemnon. The various motives, experiences and third party intervention which influenced the dynamics and emotional dimensions within each sibling group are examined, both in context and in metaphorical comparison to some aspects of the social framework of life today which, in turn, influence sibling relationships. The article concludes with the proposal of a fictional Greek genogram of `new gods' relevant to some aspects of therapy and the practice of group analysis.
