Very Imaginative

Useful, thorough, intelligent, often surprisingThere do remain issues to be addressed, to which this book has nevertheless made a useful contribution. Just how do the Greek mythico-literary and religious traditions relate to one another? Lyons rightly emphasises the local traditions represented in what we know of Greek cults, rather than the Panhellenic myths that we all know and read as children; her approach therefore works in tandem with work on ancient Panhellenic trends from the literary angle (e.g. Gregory Nagy). The relationships between the local cult that Lyons emphasises, and the Panhellenic mythical traditions that have come down to us, is a dark and difficult area. Lyons sheds new light on the topic by examining closely (among other things) the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women, what it has to say about local traditions, about immortality, etc. This is the first time that anyone has devoted any space to this important and influential text in a book on women in antiquity or on heroine cults. It is a good start; though the fact that only a few heroines in the Hesiodic Catalogue, and very few indeed in the rest of Archaic literature, are represented in what we know of Greek cultic practice poses questions that still need mulling over. Lyons, who tends to take such problems on a case-by-case basis rather than offering any general answers, will be essential reading for anyone who has an interest in them, or in Greek religion, gender, or of course (im)mortality in Greek myth.

Great book, a must to read for fantasy lovers

Decent Guide but Somewhat Lacking in DepthThe episode summaries are okay if a bit thin; I suggest simply watching the anime itself. Overall, fans of the series probably already know everything in the book, but it's still a neat accompanyment if only as a book filled with visuals and concept drawings from the series. Roleplayers may find the bit at the end for incorporating the characters and world into the BESM game system useful as well.
