Liber ab Solemnitas (The Book of Holidays)^201
Greek Religion, by W. Burkert. (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1987).
Lost Goddesses of Early Greece: A Collection of Pre-Hellenic Myths, by Charlene Spretnak.
(Boston: Beacon Press, 1992). Please note that this title includes a great deal of
speculation. I found this tremendously useful, but if you want to stick with main
stream thinking on the Hellenic and pre-Hellenic traditions, this one won’t make
you very happy. This book is greatly speculative, which is why I loved it.
