==Eranos’ beginnings==
Froebe-Kapteyn established this group at the suggestion of the eminent German religious historian, [[Rudolf Otto]]. Froebe-Kapteyn was the Dutch foundress of the literary salon "Table Ronde" (''Round Table''), which is indicative of the Eranos’ ‘spiritualist’ bent. Indeed, Eranos was from its very outset interested in these issues and its first theme, ‘Yoga and Meditation in East and West’, was a truly pioneering subject in the early 1930s. Past themes include Ancient Sun Cults and the Symbolism of Light in the Gnosis and in Early Christianity (1943), Man and Peace (1958), Creation and Organization (1966) and The Truth of Dreams (1995).  Participants over the years have included [[Heinrich Zimmer]] (Indian religious art), [[Karl Kerényi]] (Greek mythology), [[Mircea Eliade]] (history of religions), [[Carl Gustav Jung]] and [[Erich Neumann (psychologist)|Erich Neumann]] (analytical psychology), [[Robert Eisler]] (gospel authorship), [[Alfons Rosenberg]] (symbolism), [[Gilles Quispel]] (gnostic studies), [[Gershom Scholem]] (Jewish mysticism), [[Henry Corbin]] (Islamic religion), [[Gilbert Durand]] (symbolic anthropology), [[Adolf Portmann]] (biology), [[Herbert Read]] (art history), [[Max Knoll]] (physics), and [[Joseph Campbell]] (comparative mythology).<ref>[http://aras.org/arasessay.aspx Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061206061847/http://aras.org/arasessay.aspx |date=2006-12-06 }}</ref> The Eranos conferences have resulted in the publication of a number of books.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.daimon.ch/Eranos |title=List of published Eranos Lectures |access-date=2010-08-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170119083153/http://www.daimon.ch/Eranos/ |archive-date=2017-01-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Anyone may attend the lectures upon payment of a small fee.
