The Song and the Swallow: Authenticity and Love

by Matthew Anghelos March

Overview

Our need for meaning and substance is ubiquitous in the human condition, but how do we reliably find meaning? How are we susceptible to doing it the wrong way? What does this look like, what is produced, and why we should avoid it?

Using archetypal themes found in Greek mythology, readers are challenged to contemplate how Medusa's role as the devouring mother is relevant today. Whether in relationships between parent and child, significant others, or even government and citizens, how we care and fail to care authentically shapes our world. Thought-provoking and probing, this book encourages readers to examine, challenge, and reroute in the pursuit of "authentic love."
