Note to self; look into this.

"Greek historian Herodotus states that Aphrodite was originally an Asian goddess, related to Ishtar (Mesopotamia) and Ashtart/Astarte (Syria and Palestine)."

this book is excellent... if your one of those people who likes to think. I don't always agree with Shlain's conclusions, but he is well written and presented. (Art & Physics also kicked ass)

I agree, his conculsions aren't always mine but they always make you think. And overall he writes well.
