Freudian Mythologies is a collection of chapters and articles by Rachel Bowlby on Freud's use of Greek myths, and the implications of his usages of these myths specifically for thinking about psychoanalysis. How, Bowlby asks, are notions of the historical and social produced in Freud's texts through his use of Greek myths, and how, in turn, can ideas about contemporary history and society be related to psychoanalysis? In other words, central to Bowlby's preoccupations here are ideas of timelessness (the unconscious) and timeliness (consciousness, history, and society).
