Was Psyche a goddess or a mortal? > [!ai]+ AI > > Psyche was initially a mortal and then became a goddess. In Greek mythology, Psyche was a mortal woman of great beauty. She married Eros (Cupid), the god of love, but had to undergo many trials and tribulations set by Eros's mother, Aphrodite. After successfully completing these tasks, Zeus made her a goddess. # [[Journal section]] ### 2023-09-09 Sat 09:01 Beautiful that this is the word we agreed on to be the root in the name we use for the field that studies the mind, the spirit, the soul — psychology. Who coined that? > [!ai]+ AI > > The term "psychology" predates Freud by centuries. It was first used in the 16th century by the Croatian humanist and Latinist Marko Marulić in his book "Psichiologia de ratione animae humanae". The word combined "psyche" (soul, spirit, mind) and "logia" (study of or research). So, while Freud certainly made significant contributions to the field, he did not coin its name.
