| |  | | | From The Publisher
The Swiss thinker J.J. Bachofen is most often connected with his theory of matriarchy, or "mother right," but that concept is only a small part of his contribution to our understanding of cultural history. A pioneer of the idea of a transcendent mythical content present in all societies, Bachofen was deeply concerned with the inner life and how it is expressed in symbolic terms.
| | | | Annotation
This is an important book on the meaning of goddesses and the feminine in Greece, Rome, and the ancient world.
