KLYTAIMNESTRA, WIFE OF AGAMEMNON
A symbol of the seductive sensation-nature allied
to the desire-mind.
"Yea, I (Agamemnon) prefer her (Chryseis) before Klytaimnestra
wedded wife; in no wise is she lacking beside her, neither in favour
nor stature, nor wit nor skill. Yet for all this will I give her
back, if that is better; rather would I see my folk whole than
perishing." - Iliad, Bk. I,
The desire-mind prefers sensation and sense-objects,—which owe their
seductiveness to the passivity of the intuition (Chryseis)-to the
higher emotions. In no respect is the sense-nature lacking whilst
the lower mind remains in this unspiritual condition, neither as
regards its attractiveness, appeal, subtlety, nor intelligence.
Notwithstanding, the intuition shall be recovered by the Higher
Self. It were better for the desire-mind to experience the
languishing of the lower mental qualities than lose the credit for
having made the effort to surrender itself; pride being at this time
the motive in the lower self.
