The Mythology of Venus is a collection of essays that summarizes
the archaeoastronomy, calendar associations, religious and cultural
icons, and myths identified with the planet Venus. The book
concentrates on Western Europe, the Mediterranean, the Near East,
and the East from the Paleolithic Age to the Iron Age. It reveals
the archetype of a goddess associated with the planet Venus who is
identified with transformation, spiritual resurrection, and
enlightenment. The characteristics of the goddess are steeped in
sexual metaphors which contain images of birth and re-birth, and
they reveal a pattern of symbols that follows the journey of the
planet Venus through its cycles in the night sky. Moreover, the
journey of Venus and the corresponding icons associated with the
goddess are part of an intricate pattern of symbolic language that
is seen on ancient monuments and on the ancient calendars of
several cultures. Temples from France and Ireland to Greece and
Malta trace the journey of the planet Venus and the story of the
goddess of Venus.
