A review by lukerik
Venus and Aphrodite by Bettany Hughes

informative fast-paced

3.0

An interesting book.  It’s written in a totally accessible manner with a good bibliography at the back but no inline citations.  If you don’t normally read history of religion it’s not heavy at all and if you don’t mind the heavy stuff, then this is a good light read.  A very well judged book, well written, and with some jokes.  Hughes gives some thoughtful analysis.
