| Author | Merlin Stone |
| ISBN | 0807067512 |
I really like this book, but that might surprise people who know me well. That's because I studied Classics and ancient Greek goddesses, and this book does not provide a balanced academic portrayal of the deities. Which is not to say its not well researched, but neither is that the book's point, I suspect....

The Civilization of the Goddess
| Author | Marija Gimbutas |

I’ve read about this book in My European Family: The First 54,000 Years by Karin Bojs.
