Start your analysis of Achilles by reading the following articles:

"Jung and his Individuation" by the Journal Psyche
"Individuation and the Self" by Martin Schmidt, of The Society of Analytical Psychology

Then, in the same small groups as yesterday, discuss Achilles and how he is conflicted. What are the conflicts at the very heart of Achilles ego? Consider his example from multiple perspectives: Achilles the Hero, the Son, the Father, the Child of Divinity, and so on. While discussing, keep notes on how you think Jung's concept of individuation applies to Achilles.

Finally, begin writing a paper that analyzises Achilles in terms of Jungian psychology. What is the nature of Achilles's conflict? This is a paper that will be due at the end of our reading of Homer's Iliad.
