Professor Chris Mackie: The 'Symbolic Descent' in Greek Myth

Professor Chris Mackie talks about The Symbolic Descent in Greek Myth. In his exploration of two stories (Priam retrieving his son Hector’s body from Achilles, and Jason retrieving the Golden Fleece) Chris draws our attention to powerful themes of love and courage. As our very human heroes embark on quests that bring them face to face with death, Chris also describes the very different heroic qualities present in much older artistic imagery of these stories.
