Program Description

Description

Join us for a lively discussion about Greek mythology!  Our book for February is The Children of Jocasta by Natalie Haynes, which is based on the plays of Sophocles.  Jocasta is the original mother in the famous Oedipal complex. Sigmund Freud believed that all people go through a process of growing up in which they want to marry the parent of the opposite sex and kill the parent of the same sex.  Well, this is the original story of the doomed family that Freud took inspiration from!  Order your copy from a bookseller like Allstora.com or similar, and come to the meeting with questions, comments, observations, or just have a copy of the book with you! No pressure, and a good time learning about mythology is guaranteed!
