  Karl Kerenyi
Kerenyi's long correspondence with Thomas Mann was published in 1975.
Kerenyi brought to the Greek myths the art of hermeneutics, interpreted by C. Moustakas (Phenomenological Research Methods 1994) as "the art of reading a text so that the intention and meaning behind appearances are fully understood".
Goddesses of Sun and Moon, in which Kerenyi explores in four essays unusual feminine configurations, the mythemes of Circe, the enchantress; Medea, the murderess; golden Aphrodite, and Niobe and the moon.

 Karl Kerenyi
One of the founders of modern studies in Greek mythology, Karl (Carl, Károly) Kerényi (January 19, 1897 - April 14, 1973) was born in Timisoara, then in Hungary, to a family of some landed property.
"The distinguished scientist and thinker Karl Kerenyi once said that the spirit of abstraction opened doors to national socialism when Jews as personalities were substituted by the impersonal category of "Jewry" - "to kill Jews" sounds dreadfully; "to liquidate Jewry" resembles a description of some logical operation" (Averintsev).
He was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Uppsala and the gold medal of the Humboldt Society.

Kerenyi holds that the yearly autumnal "mysteries" were based on the ancient myth of Demeter's search for her ravished daughter Persephone--a search that he equates not only with woman's quest for completion but also with every person's pursuit of identity.
Kerenyi Karoly (in the Hungarian) was born in Temesvar in the southwestern part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now Timisoara, Romania).
Kerenyi believed every view of mythology is a view of man. Zeus and Hera is part of a series of monographs in which he presents a new picture of Greek religion from the standpoint of mythology.

My top four book recommendations for Dionysiasts and aspiring Dionysiasts are Karl Kerenyi's *Dionysos: Archetypal Image of Indestructible Life*; Walter Otto's *Dionysus: Myth and Cult*; The Orphic Hymns (in the Athanassakis translation, not Taylor's, unless 18th-century poetry by a scholar rather than a poet turns you on); and of course Euripides's *Bakchai* itself.
At well over 400 pages of intriguing, stimulating exploration, Kerenyi's extraordinary book leads the student through the wide and diverse scope of Dionysiac myth and cult in the ancient world.
Karl Kerenyi, *Dionysos: Archetypal Image of Indestructible Life* was recommended for:

Kerenyi's "Introduction" to this volume says it all...so I would like to quote the most eloquent and insightful part:
In this respect, dreams and mythology are nearer to one another than dreams and poetry [read Nietzsche...and also Henry David Thoreau, in *A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers* for further insightful correlation of the interfacing between mythology and dream seeing].
For this reason the author [Kerenyi], in his *Introduction to a Science of Mythology (London, 1951, p.

With the phrase "god-man" Kerenyi, in the above quote, captures the essence and the pro-blem of the concept of the hero, a balanced or intermediary position between human and divine which other scholars have upset by placing more weight on one or another side of the hero's character.
Kerenyi, and others who investigate myths from a psychological perspective, is less concerned with the hypothetical historical evolution of the hero than with the psychological importance and function of the figure, whatever its origin.
Karl Kerenyi, among others, endorse this viewpoint and tend to exclude from the category of 'hero' figures very prominent in a number of important Greek myths.

As Karl Kerenyi points out (Kerenyi 1976, pp 29ff), the onset of the fiercest killing heat of summer is a counter-intuitive beginning point for the Greek calendar.
Calendar systems are always part of the deepest embedded layers of culture, and Kerenyi remarks "The connecting link could only have been the Minoan culture", where the Greek archaeologist Spyridon Marinatos connected the orientation of Minoan palaces with the summer rising of Sirius.

KARL KERÉNYI (1897–1973) was one of the founders of modern studies in Greek mythology.
He was a close friend and collaborator of C.G. Jung, who described him as having "supplied such a wealth of connections [of psychology] with Greek mythology that the cross-fertilization of the two branches of science can no longer be doubted." In 1949 Jung and Kerényi published together ESSAYS ON THE SCIENCE OF MYTHOLOGY.
The archetypal image of Athene provides a mythological background of communal and political consciousness, individuality, and the power of mind.

In 1949 Jung and Kerenyi published together Essays on the Science of Mythology: the Myths of the Divine Child and the Divine Maiden.

For me this combination represents no less than the world of the future, a human community that is blessed by a spirit from above and "out of the depths that lie below." (Thomas Mann to Karl Kerenyi, Mythology and Humanism, February 18, 1941).
Thomas Mann and the great mythologist, Karl Kerenyi, communicated for years during WWII, often sharing insights about myth and about the misuse of myth by fascist regimes.
Both Mann and Kerenyi were appalled by the misuse of myth to develop ideology as they watched Europe descend into flames.
