Man's Unconscious Conflict: A Popular Exposition of Psychoanalysis (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Man's Unconscious Conflict: A Popular Exposition of Psychoanalysis

In the Greek mythology the Titans are the children of Earth and Heaven and, because they warred with the gods, were cast into the gulf of Tartarus, where they lie prostrate, but occasionally, becoming restive, shake their bonds and in so doing cause the earth to tremble. In each one of us there lives a Titan. As the Titans represented the crude forces of nature that were later brought into subjection by the gods who introduced a reign of order, so the Titan that is in each one of us represents the primal impulses of animal life which have through the ages been brought into some semblance of order by the force of society.
