For thousands of years before the classical myths were recorded by Hesiod and Homer, the Goddess was the focus of religion and culture. In Lost Goddesses of Early Greece, Charlene Spretnak recreates, the original, goddess-centered myths and illuminates the contemporary emergence of a spirituality based on our embeddedness in nature.

Industry Reviews

"Spretnak's treatment of the myths is most impressive." --Walter Burkert, author of Greek Religion "Charlene Spretnak has succeeded extremely well in presenting pure characterizations of the Old European goddesses as they were revered for millennia, long before the Indo-European elements were imposed to create Olympian mythology." --Marija Gimbutas, author of The Language of the Goddess

"A truly beautiful book. With it Charlene Spretnak has raised new and important questions about the power of myth." --Merlin Stone, author of Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood

"The book is essential...both academically accurate and a personal medium of passage." --CoEvolution Quarterly

"Charlene Spretnak rediscovers the goddesses' early significance and in fascinating portraits restores them to their original glory." --Publishers Weekly

"A basic text of the goddess movement that has spread through feminist and ecological circles for a decade." --Boston Globe

"A poetic revelation of pre-Hellenic mythology." --Los Angeles Times
