Ishtar: Gods and Heroes of the Ancient World
Autor Louise M. Prykeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2019
Ishtar is the first book dedicated to providing an accessible analysis of the mythology and image of this complex goddess. The polarity of her nature is reflected in her role as goddess of sexual love and war, and has made her difficult to characterise in modern scholarship. By exploring this complexity, Ishtar offers insight into Mesopotamian culture and thought, and elucidates a goddess who transcended the limits of gender, divinity and nature. It gives an accessible introduction to the Near Eastern pantheon, while also opening a pathway for comparison with the later Near Eastern and Mediterranean deities who followed her.

Recenzii
- Professor Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Cardiff University, UK
"The style is certainly scholarly, but it is not overly technical, and a reader without much background in the area will be able to follow most of the text [...] Pryke does a lot to help the reader [...] It will be appropriate for scholars in the field, but also those who have some familiarity with the area and want to know more."
- Christian Perring, Metapsychology Online Reviews
