Brill's Companion to Aphrodite brings together an international and multidisciplinary team of experts in the study of Aphrodite—one of the best known, yet ambiguous and complex Graeco-Roman deities. The contributions, which reevaluate conventional approaches to this remarkable goddess, are thematically grouped in four parts according to aspects of the goddess: 'Aphrodite’s Identity’; ‘Aphrodite's Companions and Relations’; ‘The Spread of Aphrodite’s Cults’ and ‘The Reception of the Goddess.’ Each part draws on literary and visual sources, incorporates Greek, Roman, and later material, and ranges across places and periods—from prehistoric Cyprus and the Near East to the antiquities market in 19th century France. This book therefore crosses interdisciplinary boundaries, as well as the multiple aspects and characteristics of the goddess

Si l’on en croit l’opinion courante, Aphrodite est par excellence « déesse de l’amour ». C’est à déconstruire une telle évidence que s’attache ce livre où les multiples facettes de la déesse sont explorées afin de rendre à l’éros sa riche polysémie et à la déesse qui « mélange » les corps toute sa complexité. À cette fin, qui met en jeu les mécanismes mêmes du polythéisme grec, sont plus particulièrement analysés le lien génétique d’Aphrodite avec Ouranos, le Ciel, et le couple que la déesse forme avec Arès, le dieu de la fureur guerrière. Sont ainsi abordées les nuances sombres et violentes d’Aphrodite, que les témoignages des Anciens ne manquent pas d’évoquer. Dès lors, la présence de la déesse dans l’univers de la guerre reçoit ici un nouvel éclairage. De la Théogonie d’Hésiode jusqu’aux cultes des cités, en passant par les textes littéraires qui témoignent du lien d’Aphrodite aux humeurs vitales, à la puissance virile et à la fleur de la jeunesse, l’auteur dessine de la déesse un portrait chatoyant, multiforme, ambigu, qui ne perd pas la cohérence que devait évoquer pour un Grec le simple énoncé de son nom.

This is the first systematic study of the cults of the Bosporan Kingdom, which existed in South Russia in the first centuries AD. The research is based on a variety of sources: archaeological evidence and inscriptions, largely unknown to the non-Russian readers, as well as historical and literary texts. The religion of the Bosporus is viewed in this monograph as a blend of Greek and indigenous Iranian traditions. Its first part is dedicated to the cult of Celestial Aphrodite. The second part examines the controversial cult of the Most High God and its alledged Jewish affinities. The book, illustrated with thirty figures, is an important contribution to the understanding of the religious life in Greek colonies, and the history of Eastern Mediterranean in Late Antiquity.

Lewis Richard Farnell's The Cults of the Greek States, first published between 1896 & 1909, disentangles classical Greek mythology & religion, since the latter had often been overlooked by 19th-century English scholars. Farnell describes the cults of the most significant Greek gods in order to establish their zones of influence, & outlines the personality, monuments, & ideal types associated with each deity. He also resolutely avoids the question of divine origins & focuses instead on the culture surrounding each cult, a position which initially drew some criticism, but which allowed him more space to analyse the religious practices themselves. Written to facilitate a comparative approach to Greek gods, his work is still regularly cited today for its impressive collection of data about the worship of the most popular deities.
