Although cognitive psychology and neuroscience have usurped the influential position once held by psychoanalysis, this volume seeks to reclaim the value of the unconscious as a methodological tool for the study of ancient texts by transforming our understanding of what it means, how it operates, and how it relates to textual hermeneutics.

Autorenporträt
Vered Lev Kenaan is Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature at the University of Haifa. As an interpreter of culture and myths, her writing centres on the relationships between psychoanalysis and literature, intertextuality and the interpretation of dreams, textuality and gender: her book, Pandora's Senses: The Feminine Character of the Ancient Text (Wisconsin, 2008) interprets the myth of the first woman and shows how femininity is embedded in canonical texts reflecting male hegemony. Her investigations of Greek and Roman mythology led to the creation of a series of public lectures at the University of Haifa dedicated to the contribution of myth to the humanities, the arts, and the social sciences. She is the chief editor of a book series 'Myth in the Humanities' published by Haifa University Press and Pardes Publishing House, and is also editor of the journal Dappim: Research in Literature.
