This book was a recent read regarding Hellenic Polytheism, and it stands to be one of my favorites. It is a collection of everything we know about Aphrodite through history and her origins. I definitely recommend this if you worship Aphrodite! There is knowledge about the way she was worshiped, evidence of androgyny, sexual fluidity and experimentation, poems/hymns, as well as archaeological discoveries. Truly a beautiful and insightful read, personally I feel more connected and knowledgeable to Aphrodite after reading this. It also includes photos/paintings of her and other goddess’ connected.
“-And perhaps what Aphrodite asks us to do when we commemorate her is not to seek the desire that destroys, but that unites, that pulls communities together, not apart. She is both the wound and the bandage.” - Page 212
Let me know if you plan to read it, and if so what you think of it! :)
