I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered this book from Amazon…this isn’t really a book that is meant to be read straight through as an independent work…rather, it seems to me upon finishing it, that the greatest benefit is as a reference. If on were stumped for the source of a particular detail of Artemis, this would be the book to go to. As such, there is a great deal of repeated information that was annoying to me since I did read it straight through, but the repetition did serve a purpose in helping cement some details of Artemis in my memory…as with Athene, Artemis is a goddess largely unknown to me, so it was not totally pointless to have read the book from cover to cover. At nearly 25.00 for this book, I don’t know how many would really want to shell out the bucks for a book that is just over 100 pages. I’m glad to have it and would recommend it to others it has solid information and would be a fine addition to any pagan library. ( )
