Venus and Aphrodite: History of a Goddess by Bettany Hughes

informative reflective fast-paced

3.0

genuinely really enjoyed it but wish it touched on aphrodite areia even a little (like come on you have a whole section on fighting and fucking but not one mention of the warlike aphrodite worshipped at sparta? i also felt like i was baited into thinking there was going to be an exploration of the genderqueer followers of inanna but i guess not?? good fun read though even if it had the biggest text for a book i’ve read in literally years lol.
