There’s an App for That: Even for Your Inner Zeus

After completing his doctorate, Jungian analyst Philippe Jacquet found himself with a few unexpected weeks of freedom and used them to build an app.

G-Myths is a free, browser-based tool that maps the Greek archetypes onto your psychological life, no download required, no strings attached, and no marketing agenda. Built only for fun.

The app offers six different entry points into the mythological psyche. Solar Myths guides you through twelve questions to discover which of the ten Greek gods is most alive in you right now (Zeus, Apollo, Prometheus, Achilles, Odysseus and more) complete with a full psychological portrait covering your core traits, your mythology, and crucially, your shadow. Lunar Myths offers the same depth through eighteen questions and ten Greek goddesses (Aphrodite, Hecate, Medusa, Circe, Demeter among them). A shorter version, Which Is Active Now, distils the same feminine archetypal lens into just eight questions for those who want a quicker read on where they are right now.

The Daily Oracle offers a fresh archetypal depth reading each morning, with a shadow question and an invitation for the day. It has the flavour of a daily contemplative practice, but rooted firmly in the language of depth psychology rather than divination. The Myth Discovery section adds a library and quiz for those who want to go deeper into the mythological material itself. And perhaps most intriguingly, the Dream Interpreter invites you to share a dream and receive a response in the form of a mythological parable.

It’s available in nine languages including Arabic, Chinese, and Hindi, an impressive reach for one analyst utilising only spare time. As Jacquet puts it, the myths have been shaping human psychology for three thousand years are not going anywhere. But it’s nice to have them in your browser.
