Description: The gods of ancient Greece exemplify two simultaneous characteristics: an empathy with human suffering and a capability of inspiring humankind to its highest aspirations. In evaluating the gods and goddesses, and their mythical thoughts and actions, this unique collection reveals twelve dimensions of the soul and spirit - living images of those creative forces that can be rekindled within the heart.
