- W3149351788 abstract "This substantial book makes an important contribution to understanding Aphrodite and her cults, and provides an invaluable tool for further study. Its first part, a series of regional studies, excludes areas such as Crete, Asia Minor, the Aegean islands, South Italy, and Sicily, and focuses on the areas described by Pausanias. Limitations of access explain the decision to structure this investigation around Pausanias' account; but there are obvious dangers in an investigation of archaic and classical cults based on an author of the Roman period. In Part 2 P. investigates the Greek perceptions of the relationship between Aphrodite and Cyprus. Part 3 sets out a synthesis, on the basis of which P. attempts to determine A.'s divine personality. In the concluding Chapter III A.'s functions and prerogatives are discussed. P. associates A.'s connection with the sea with her connection with the sky. A.'s celestial character is expressed above all in her epithet Ourania, which, P believes, characterized A. as a goddess who came from elsewhere. P believes that Ourania seems a generic appellation. It is difficult to see how this view can be reconciled with the fact that the Greeks specifically contrasted A. Ourania to other personae of A. For example, according to a myth in a passage of Pausanias (cf. pp. 276-81), Harmonia dedicated three statues of her mother A., which she called Ourania, Pandemos, and Apostrophia. The epithets betray a mentality in which Ourania did not connote a global image of A., but a particular persona, contrasted to her other personae. P. associates A.'s chthonic personalities with her cosmic persona, as articulated in tragedy. A. was also concerned with civic harmony, hence magistrates in different places made dedications to her, and was also associated with the world of war, with regard to which P. offers a subtle and sensitive discussion. The book ends with a short synthesis, in which P. connects A.'s traits to a basic nucleus of what she calls the force of the union that the goddess sets in place (p. 469), which also defines A.'s modalities of intervention in the various spheres in which she appears. Inevitably, in a book of this scope and amplitude, there are aspects one can argue about. On the methodological side, P. is generally cautious and sophisticated. Our reservations do not detract from the book's substantial achievement and value." @default.
