"...delightful to read....The special contribution of this volume rests in its intelligent melding of mythic narrative and empirical science in the retelling."-Elizabeth A. Stine, Contemporary Psychology, "Particularly attractive is the way she uses religion and mythology, as well as literature, psychology and philosophy throughout her work. The work ends with a valuable bibliography and an index." Journal of Indo-European Studies
