The Hero and the Goddess: The Odyssey as Pathway to Personal Transformation
Jean Houston
"The marvels and mysteries of The Odyssey have never been explained to you as you are about to have them explained. Houston not only elucidates the story of Odysseus, but in her inimitadbly multi-dimensional way, she also reveals the story of you." – Marianne Williamson
" Jean Houston is the foremost guide to human development alive today. She invites us into the journey of Odysseus, not just as a Great Story, but as a living archetype that can lead us in discovering our own greatest potential. This book is a classic to read and reread" – Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Your Soul’s Compass
After the Trojan War, it takes the hero Odysseus ten years to get home, guided by the goddess Athena. Jean Houston’s experiential retelling leads us to enter Homer’s great epic as if it were our own. With Odysseus, we search for the Beloved, endure setbacks, and finally know the joy of homecoming. We also learn to link our mortal selves with immortal realities, creating an opening through which grace can enter. This is a book, then, to be done, not just read. It leads us on a powerful journey of the soul in which we awaken to a larger, nobler life.
