The Goddess: Myths and Stories door Linda Barker-Revell
The Goddess is an enchanting collection that brings together twenty of the most important goddesses from world myths and legends. Organized alphabetically by goddess, this beautifully illustrated volume includes Greek and Roman goddesses as well as eastern goddesses from Chinese and Indian mythology. Exquisite photographs of ancient and classical works of art accompany information about each deity's story and symbolism.
This is a sumptuously produced book, with glossy pages, easy-to-read text, and full colour replicas of ancient, beautiful, Renaissance artworks to show the stories that are told.
The goddesses, and their stories, covered within this book are: the Ancient Mother Goddess, Aphrodite, Ariadne, Artemis, Athena, Circe, Daphne, Demeter, Flora, Hathor, Isis, Kali, Kuan Yin, Leda, Medea, Pandora, Pele, Psyche, Sekhmet, Snake Goddess.
There is a heavy emphasis on Greek and Roman goddesses, but if anything, this book is so beautiful - and the stories so well-told - that no matter what deities you're interested in, this book will be a great asset to your shelf. Whether as a book of myths and fairytales that you read to yourself, or as a coffee table book. :)… (meer)
