Psyche’s Knife

In 'Psyche's Knife,' Elizabeth Éowyn Nelson explores the myth of Eros and Psyche as a metaphor for the development of soul in women's psychology.

She examines the tropes of love and power through Psyche's use of a knife, seeking to understand the identity of her lover.

Nelson delves into the symbolism of the knife from alchemical, sacrificial, lunar, and phallic perspectives.

By connecting the mythology and imagery of women and knives, the book offers archetypal explorations of love, power, and the possibilities for the future.
