Contrary to the assertions of certain writers, Freud's fascination with Greece is not a sign of his need to repress his Jewishness. On the contrary, Freud, who did not know Hebrew, would not have understood why this theme of his Jewishness has suddenly received so much attention. Freud is heir to Greek and Greco-Roman tradition, and this legacy should not be forfeited. Even though hidden by nineteen centuries of Christianity, still it was in the treasures of Greek mythology, in which all Western thought takes its origin, that Freud sought the rich iconography of his psychoanalytic concepts. It is with the vocabulary and the categories of thought of this inheritance that he forged his own intellectual tools. Like all wandering Jews, in exile from Jerusalem, Freud knew only one country, that of the text. His work is his only homeland.
