On matricide : myth, psychoanalysis, and the law of the mother
Jacobs, Amber2007
Books
In her radical reading of Aeschylus's 'Oresteia', Amber Jacobs challenges the primacy of 'the law of the father' as the dominant model of psychological and cultural analysis in the Western world. Instead, by bringing the story of Athena's mother, Metis to the forefront she introduces a new theory of matricide and maternal law.
