(Hardback)

Offers an analysis of various accounts of the foundation of that most "mythical" of the Greek colonies - Cyrene, in eastern Libya. This book examines the Greeks' symbolic discourse to show that these modern concepts arose much later than commonly believed.

(Paperback)

Offers a comprehensive inquiry into the deity of sexual love, a power that permeated daily Greek life. Avoiding Foucault's philosophical paradigm of dominance/submission, this book uses an anthropological and linguistic approach to re-create indigenous categories of erotic love.
