Dr. Safron Rossi on the Kore Archetype
Kore, from the Greek word for Virgin or Maiden, is a most mysterious figure. Youthful, elusive and paradoxical, the Kore is unto-herself, sovereign, yet deeply related. Who is this figure that is accorded such psychological power and significance? This lecture will explore what this archetype is, the mythology of Korai triad goddesses, and their importance to both the study of the archetypal feminine and women’s psychology.
