Customer Reviews

Scatterbrained & hard to read

Holy hell this book is trash. If you’re looking for research and don’t have in-depth knowledge of the ancient world this book isn’t for me or you. Jumps around wildly without staying focused and does things like show you an ancient tablet related to Semele but doesn’t translate what it says, but provides it in Greek. How the hell am I supposed to even type those letters into Google to try and figure out what this says? Man, if you have a suggestion for another book on Dionysus I’d love the recommendation
