This book provides a fascinating exploration of how Jewish culture was influenced by the dominant Roman culture of the time, including the incorporation of the goddess Aphrodite into Jewish mythology. Visotzky’s writing is engaging, and he offers a wealth of historical and cultural context that makes it both informative and enjoyable to read.There are many places where you can read about Aphrodite and her mythology. Here are some suggestions: When it was discovered that both were the same object in the sky, they named it Aphrodite in honor of their most beautiful goddess. The major symbols associated with her are the rose, the dove, and the swan. I think it’s nice to see that he obviously has crushes on two, so far as we know, straight guys and they just accept him as part of the team and work with him without any problems. It’s something we don’t seen shown often and matters as much as everything else. Once they’re alone, Widow Mercedes and Widow Beth know they’re running out of time to complete their nefarious plans, since Wynonna is onto them. Mercedes considers the rotten severed head of Constance Clootie and Beth wonders aloud if the Stone Witch could help them, but Widow Mercedes says since they can’t hurt her, they can’t trust her, which would be a weird way to talk about someone if they were well and truly gone. They throw her head into the fire for good measure, but I have a feeling we haven’t heard the last from her. Museums: Museums provide informative displays and descriptions of the artifacts they have on display.

The two stars are solely for this poem : "Men wrote the myths down and called them history, and time has dragged them further from the truth. Pandora’s jar became a box. Eve’s pomegranate, an apple. All the details change but one: it is a woman with her hand on the door to Hell." the basic theme of the collection is following our narrator who has endured abuse & lost the meaning of love as she finds the goddess aphrodite in her room. aphrodite then (as the feminist, lgbt icon she is) explains the power of love and forgiveness to our narrator. I glanced at a post on tumblr with a theory that Nicole is actually the half revenant and they’re setting up Waverly being part rev as a red herring. Which I thought was a cool theory but a real stretch. But now it’s been haunting my thoughts. I’m not 100% on board with the thought that Waverly is part revenant. I think Waverly is just a normal case of infidelity or adoption, maybe Willa’s, idk. The collection itself is a conversation between the goddess and the poet, being split into dedicated sections of the anthology and communicating with one another on similar subjects, from love to war. The collection itself is compiled of prose, poetry and art, and is full of luscious drawings and delicious words, tantalising you and drawing you in for more. Mateer is a brilliant storyteller, using multiple mediums to present her life and opinions in multiple different views. From the pain she suffered at a younger age, to herself as a person now, Mateer guides you through it with colour and light and survival. It’s a truly inspiring read. I usually really enjoy longer poems, but here, the supposed longer poems aren't giving me what they are suppose to : they usually consist of a succession of short sentences that seem more like a bullet-pointed draft than an actual poem.The bartender’s name is Jonas and they have some drinks together and Nicole is full-drunk now talking about flood prep which is the dorkiest cutest thing ever. Wynonna wants to leave but Nicole is determined to get this shot glass so she asks for more peppermint schnapps.
