    HOT AIR AND PROPAGANDA
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019*

A long dry description of the Demeter-Persephone myth found in many other myth book and encyclopedia.Nothing else of value, just endless passages of self-referencing, virtue-signalling, political-correct verbiage and "women HIGHEST and FIRST among creatures" blarney. Highly-funded propaganda from a neo-Jungian whose works barely do justice to the master.Hundreds of pages in and the point of the myth still isn't sussed.The "rape" of Persephone has nothing to do with men. It refers obliquely to the loss of the Dragon Fight, the Oedipal and pre-Oedipal conflict that rages between mothers and daughters. Don't hold your breath waiting for any feminist writer to accept this or deal with it honestly. Nope.I suggest not wasting a cent on this ponderous and righteous drivel. Instead I highly recommend the invaluable book "Women's Inhumanity Against Woman," by feminist Phyllis Chessler.*** *** ***

    An empowering must-read for the modern-day heroine in each of us
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2015*

In Persephone Rising, Carol Pearson adds a deeply insightful and just-right-for-the-times entry to her extensive catalog on the intersection of ancient myth and modern meaning.  Through the interlocking stories of Persephone, Demeter, Zeus and Dionysus (especially Demeter’s abduction into the Underworld), Dr. Pearson sheds new light on what today’s women need to be happier, more fulfilled and more authentically alive.  This wise and wonderful book is a must-read for any woman looking to claim her own power, purpose and potential in the world.

    Good for our Relationship
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2016*

I am reading out loud some relevant passages to my partner.  It is helpful to see aspects of our story reflected back to us through these archetypal figures and stories.  They open a dialog that flows from the recognition that our issues are universal and we can see ourselves in the context of human family.  The Ancient Greek stories have the power take us deeper because the personality traits of the gods are also to be found within ourselves.  Carol's treatment and interpretation connects the dots in a way that is transformative, letting us know from within that we have the power improve ourselves individually as well as our relationship.  Self knowledge breeds acceptance and confidence in our capacity to actualize our highest aspirations.  This book helps us to achieve this.
