As poetic as the works it presents
The beauty of this book does not lie in the adornment of its words but in the power of its insights. It does not give its point away and one needs to read it with full attention, but in the end, it can give you more than an understanding of what the Greeks called Eros, but an experience.

A fascinating study on lover's behaviour..
Nice book- not for all the readers though. I'm glad that i have studied Classic Greek & Latin literature, because that made my reading more easy and familiar. If you are not a grecian, this will bore you. It's not a ''lesbian'' book, it's a literature essay- who happens to analyze the subject of Eros (Love in ancient greek).

Poético, idealista
Un libro magistralmente escrito en donde la autora desgrana la relación entre amor y sexo, fundamentándose en la visión del amor, Eros, en la Grecia clásica. Lo que interpreta poco tiene que ver con el amor tal y como se entiende hoy en día en la calle. Profundiza en lo que es esencial, universal en el sentimiento y la pasión amorosos y las tensiones que comporta.
