About This Book

This study of various female deities of Graeco-Roman antiquityis the first to provide evidence that primary goddesseswere conceived of as virgin mothers in the earliest layers of their cults. By taking feminist analysis of divinities further, this book provides a fresh angle on our understanding of these deities.
