: being the only English Translation of EPHIALTES: A Pathological-Mythological Treatise On The Nightmare In Classical Antiquity by Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher (1900) together with AN ESSAY ON PAN serving as a Psychological Introduction by James Hillman

---

This brilliant book brings Pan back to life by following C.G. Jung's famous saying that the gods have become our diseases. Chapters on nightmare panic, masturbation, rape and nympholepsy, instinct and synchronicity, and Pan's female lovers (Echo, Syrinx, Selene, and the Muses) show the goat-god at work and play in the dark drives and creative passions of our lives. Includes a full translation of Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher's masterful nineteenth-century treatise "Ephialtes."
