Promotional Information

Mother of the Gods reaches out far beyond its ostensible subject-the cult of the divine mother in Greece, Rome, and Christianity. It is rich with implications for our understanding of antiquity in general-and, for that matter, for our understanding of culture and society. Philippe Borgeaud provides a model of scholarship: concise, clear, consistently interesting and lively, at moments quite deep. This is a book that every scholar interested in ancient religion will have to read. -- James Redfield, University of Chicago

About the Author

Philippe Borgeaud is a professor of the history of religion at the University of Geneva and the author of several books, including The Cult of Pan in Ancient Greece.

Reviews

Borgeaud has read widely and chooses judiciously from among an array of pictorial and written remains to construct a series of striking images that reveal and unravel the amazingly complex paths taken by the goddess and her companions during a millennium of antiquity. Choice This slim book is packed with terrific material... Flashes of insight are something Borgeaud does well. He also asks big questions. Times Literary Supplement A carefully researched and... persuasively argued book that will be of interest to academic libraries and scholars in the field. -- Joseph Molleur Anglican Theological Review Fascinating narrative... combined with the visually-striking jacket cover illustration... entices the potential reader. -- Daniel Keating Henoch
