Hard-to-find and valuable mythical resource!

Great resource on the lesser known goddesses - The Erinyes, the Fates, Themis, Ananke, Ate, more ......and also Dionysius.

A do-not-miss for anyone seeking to understand the early feminine mythical roots of what became a patriarchal Greek and Roman mythology..... and indeed the forces to which even the gods of Olympus are subservient.
