306 THE MYTHS OF CREATION: THE GODS



  1. This is Dry ope; Ovid (Metamorphoses 9. 325 ff.) has a different version.

  2. The Greek word pan means "all."

  3. See Louise Vinge, The Narcissus Theme in Western European Literature up to the Early
    19th Century (Lund, Sweden: Gleerups, 1967); also Gerasimos Santas, Plato and Freud:
    Two Theories of Love (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1988): Freud believed (and of course
    many disagree) that an individual's sexual development as an infant may determine
    his or her choices as an adult concerning the object and nature of love; thus the the-
    ory of narcissism had a great impact on his conviction that, for some, relationships
    in love may stem not from their primal attachment to their mothers but from infan-
    tile self-love.

  4. See The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works ofSigmund Freud, ed. James
    Strockey, vol. 14 (London: Hogarth Press, 1957), pp. 69-129. Of great interest is a bi-
    ography of the psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut by Charles B. Strozier, Heinz Kohut: The
    Making of a Psychoanalyst (New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2001). Kohut made
    himself famous by his profound exploration of narcissism in papers such as "Forms
    and Transformations of Narcissism" (1966) and "The Analysis of the Self" (1971).
