Apollo and Dionysus is a book written by Edouard Schure that explores the contrasting themes of reason and intuition, order and chaos, and the masculine and feminine in Greek mythology. The book focuses on the two Greek gods, Apollo and Dionysus, who represent these opposing forces. Apollo, the god of reason and order, represents the masculine principle, while Dionysus, the god of intuition and chaos, represents the feminine principle. Schure delves into the myths and legends surrounding these two gods, examining their roles in Greek society and their impact on art, philosophy, and culture. He explores the paradoxical nature of their relationship, as they are both complementary and antagonistic to one another. The book also discusses the influence of Apollo and Dionysus on modern society, particularly in the fields of art, literature, and psychology. Schure argues that the balance between reason and intuition is essential for a healthy society and that the integration of these two opposing forces is necessary for personal growth and spiritual development. Overall, Apollo and Dionysus is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between reason and intuition, and the importance of balance in our lives. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Greek mythology, philosophy, or psychology.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: From Sphinx to Christ: An Occult History, by Edouard Schure.
