Whence the Goddesses:
A Source Book
discusses the history of goddesses and examines the accrual of characteristics,
powers and functions among goddesses throughout ancient Europe and other
areas inhabited by Indo-European spaking peoples. It includes excerpts
from a multitude of sources in their original language and in excellent
translation.
This comprehensive view will be useful for courses in women’s studies
and classical and comparative mythology, and it will serve as an invaluable
reference for feminists of all cultures who are interested in historic
and comparative roles of female figures.
