Which interconnection could be detected between modern woman and the Ancient Greek Goddesses?

The dramatherapist Vasso Papali believes that myths about the female element are the medium that helps us comprehend the archetypes functioning in the fields of psychology and our personality. They might be distant during the time span but they encapsulate eternal values. Then as now, myths were created in order to inspire and remind us about the sanctity of existence. She uses myths, fairy-tales, novels and theatrical plays in her dramatherapy, in order to approach the real-life roles and conditions through the fictional ones.

The beginning was made by the rigorous study of Medea, the Archetype of Mother. She was the Great Mother that had been worshiped for over thousand years by the pre-historic people. Medea’s archetype has survived throughout the centuries and she lives inside every woman that suppresses her children in either rough or delicate ways. She will be always there without showing mercy, until women are going to be treated with love, respect, tender, protection, freedom.

Hence, an idea is born in order to enhance all the free, conscious and inspiring elements in the role of mother. These mothers will wean descendants with free consciousness and generous temperament and these ideals can be detected inside the female archetypes of the Ancient Greek Goddesses, before the coming of the patriarchy.

5th R o u n d   H E R A

Hera is the heroine, the divine goddess, the symbol of the holy marriage and its protector, the daughter, the mother, the triple goddess and the powerful personification of the unification.

The myth says that she was erotically approached by Zeus. He took the form of a cuckoo and she embraced him in order to warm the poor bird. Their marriage represents the archetypical unification of female and male elements.

Hera had been worshiped all around Greece, at the Heraion Temples. Her archetypical position in the divine couple has inspired the belief that she is the protector of the marriage and the overseer of all marital physical consequences (the childbirth).

The seminar is addressed to women of all ages.
