Produktbeschreibung

Artemis is a literary, iconographic, and archaeological study of the ancient Greek goddess of transitions, who presided over virginity and fertility, cruelty and child care, the wilds and the civilized, the hunt and the birth bower. Beginning with a study of the early origins of Artemis and her cult in the Bronze and Archaic Ages, this book explores the goddess's persona and her role in the lives of her Greek worshippers.
