Does myth (still) have a function in Jungian studies? Modernity, metaphor, and psycho-mythology

One of the most important novelists of the twentieth century declares that he has no interest in Freudians. `Let the credulous and vulgar continue to believe that all mental woes can be cured by a daily application of old Greek myths to their private parts', Vladimir Nabokov says. `I really do not care' (1973: 66). Jungians may not apply old Greek myths to their private parts as Freudians so notoriously do, but they do apply old myths ± among them, Greek myths ± in an attempt to cure mental woes. Jungians continue to believe that myth has a function.
