Hekate Soteira: A Study of Hekate's Roles in the Chaldean Oracles and Related Literature (Homage Series): 21 (Society for Classical Studies American Classical Studies)

If you are seriously interested in The Goddess Hekate then this is a book you need to read. It is scholarly, with excellent footnotes and superb bibliography. The ideas put forward are interesting and well researched which gives it a sense of authority. By far the best book on Hekate that I have seen.

Thanks

Are you serious about finding Hekate?This book is a must for the true seeker but remember this is a scholarly book, is heavy to read. Don't expect the fluidity of a novel.Still one of the greatest books on Hekate you can find.

Conheço sobre o livro indiretamente, através da leitura de artigos. Lerei, com certeza, em breve, para um melhor entendimento dos vários aspectos da deusa.

The author is highly educated and I’ve read a couple of her other books, she references everything and it is all very scholarly and knowledgeable information. If you’re looking for real knowledge on Hekate, this book is IT. Anyone interested in the studies, or who plans on working with/worshipping this goddess should definitely get this book. It’s also nice having a female author for these scholarly texts who does not have any bias towards female deities and theological studies as we see so often with a lot of male authors and historians. Thank you so much!

Seppure di nicchia, questo studio accademico sulla dea Ecate è eccezionalmente rigoroso e informativo.

impeccable

This is an impressive book written by a scholar, with many scholarly references and notes (thankfully, footnotes, which are much easier to access than endnotes). I learnt a lot about Hekate, and the book is a nice alternative to the more popular books on this remarkable goddess which tend to emphasise devotional practices. Unfortunately, as another reviewer has commented, the author sometimes emphasises the importance of a term but neglects to translate that term from Greek! I assume the meaning in Greek is obvious to her but not to this reader.
