Description
Goddesses in Myth and Cultural Memory by Emilie Kutash explores how these ancient figures have endured as literary and cultural icons. Kutash examines the ways in which allegory, symbolic interpretation, and political context shape our understanding of goddesses from their regional origins to their appearances in philosophy, literature, and art. The book charts the evolution of goddesses through history, tracing their influence on Western culture from ancient near eastern prototypes to their association with Christendom and contemporary feminist thought.
