Summary: For the specialist!
Comment: Faraone's book on Greek love magic will challenge several of the widely held assumptions about sex and gender roles, showing once again that they are not the same nor were they seen by the ancients as being the same. His connections seem solid but fuller quotations of the texts might help strengthen his arguements. Good food for thought.

Summary: OK BUT NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
Comment: I thought that this book was OK but not exactly the best book out there that you can find on Greek Magick. It does have some really excuisite information on the history of the magick practiced by the Greeks but is written in such a way that you may have to read a passage once or twice more to fully understand what the author is trying to get across. As I said before and OK book with some good information but it certainly not what I expected.
