Krátky popis
Through ancient art, evocative myth, exciting archaeological
revelations and philosophical explorations Bettany Hughes shows why
this immortal goddess endures through to the twenty-first century,
and what her journey through time reveals about what matters to us
as humans. Charting Venus's origins in powerful ancient deities,
Bettany demonstrates that Venus is far more complex than first
meets the eye. Beginning in Cyprus, the goddess's mythical
birthplace, Bettany decodes Venus's relationship to the Greek
goddess Aphrodite, and, in turn, Aphrodite's mixed-up origins both
as a Cypriot spirit of fertility and procreation - but also, as a
descendant of the prehistoric war goddesses of the Near and Middle
East, Ishtar, Inanna and Astarte.On a voyage of discovery to reveal
the truth behind Venus, Hughes reveals how this mythological figure
is so much more than nudity, romance and sex. It is the both the
remarkable story of one of antiquity's most potent forces, and the
story of human desire - how it transforms who we are and how we
behave.
