We learn about them from literature, poetry and art. We see them in movies, on television. We know them. We know that Athena loves wisdom and is the patroness of clever heroes. We know of Apollo's many tragic loves and of Dionysos' devotion to his Ariadne. We know their stories, and we know them. This book, a collection of prayers to the Greek gods written by a modern devotee, is dedicated to them. Keywords:Listed in: |

I had been using Hearthstone's prayers that I had found on line in my daily devotions, and I was super excited when directed to this book. All the main deities are covered, with a ton of prayers to Aphrodite. There were also a few prayers to Hekate, which I was extremely happy about, as well as a couple of devotions than encompass all the main Greek Deities. It's typeface is large, which makes it great to read in candlelight. There is also a section that is an overview of the gods the prayers were written for, which is a great resource in itself. With most of the books on the Gods being dry, scholarly works, this little book is a breath of fresh air, and a must read for any Hellene, as well as anyone else interested in the Gods of ancient Greece.
