it was amazing

As it is with translations from German Teutonic style of writing into English, this book is a constant battle to read (especially the first theoretical part about cultus). It is a very rewarding battle nonetheless as it presents a coherent style of thought with many brilliant insights and factoids that are being put together. It helped me differentiate my thinking about not just this very God but about the about the Greek mythology as a whole.
