Karoly Kerenyi, a Hungarian philologist and philosopher, wrote many books on Greek deities and the psychology inherent in their natures. His magnificent (reportedly) work "Apollo und Niobe" is only available in German. This book contains the 4 most important essays from that work. As a Priestess of Apollo, a Pythia, I found much hidden in the discussions of "geist" and Ion that was of great use to me. A philosopher would have found much different knowledge in this slender book that is all gold and no dross and not been disappointed either. No Kerenyi book is without value, and most are stuffed full of usefulness as you can pack the written word.
