About the Book
The Mistress of the Animals: The Naked Goddess in Ancient Greek Religion by Nanno Marinatos offers a stimulating and thought-provoking exploration of the role of the naked goddess and the mistress of the animals within Greek religion. Through a detailed, lavishly illustrated analysis, Marinatos uncovers the power and symbolism of female nudity in the art of the Levant and Greece, shedding light on the profound significance of these figures in ancient religious practices.
This book delves into the artistic and cultural representations of female deities, focusing on how they were portrayed as both powerful and nurturing figures. It examines the ways in which these images of naked goddesses and animal mistresses symbolized fertility, nature, and divine protection, offering readers a rich understanding of ancient Greek religion and its connection to the natural world.
Essential for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient Greek religion, mythology, and art, this work offers fresh perspectives on the symbolic importance of female figures in the ancient Mediterranean world, contributing to the broader study of gender, power, and divinity in antiquity.
