Course: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONQUEST OF EVIL, a book by HEINRICH ZIMMER. LÚCIA HELENA GALVÃO comments on the book by the German Indologist, friend of JOSEPH CAMPBREL and CARL JUNG, in which he analyzes tales and myths from various traditions, deciphering their symbolic language - according to some keys - and bringing important reflections for the evolution of the human being. Nova Acrópole presents professor Lúcia Helena, who adds her own relationships to Zimmer's comments, made in the light of Philosophy in the classical manner. The tale commented on today, A PAGAN HERO, is a fable from the Irish tradition. ADDENDUM: The 3 serpents are associated with the powers of matter, which are inertia, ignorance and selfishness.
