5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful book on Apollo!,
By Andrea Berman "TeaAddictedGeek" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apollo: The Wind, the Spirit, and the God : Four Studies (Dunquin Series) (Paperback)
Probably the best book out there on Apollo. Kerenyi has an amazing amount of understanding of ancient Greeks and their religion, and I have never been disappointed with his books. If you can get a hold of this book--which I did and was lucky to do so--do so!

Philosophy on the Greeks,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apollo: The Wind, the Spirit, and the God : Four Studies (Dunquin Series) (Paperback)
Karoly Kerenyi, a Hungarian philologist and philosopher, wrote many books on Greek deities and the psychology inherent in their natures. His magnificent (reportedly) work "Apollo und Niobe" is only available in German. This book contains the 4 most important essays from that work.As a Priestess of Apollo, a Pythia, I found much hidden in the discussions of "geist" and Ion that was of great use to me. A philosopher would have found much different knowledge in this slender book that is all gold and no dross and not been disappointed either. No Kerenyi book is without value, and most are stuffed full of usefulness as you can pack the written word. |
