Reader comments
This book is very interesting! It takes Greek mythology as a starting point and takes us into Greek history, just like I am on the road to finding love, full of mystery and expectation. The division of historical stages in the book is also very clear, which gave me a more systematic understanding of Greek culture. Moreover, when I saw the philosophers and poets introduced in the book, I couldn't help but wonder whether their thoughts and works could also bring some enlightenment to my view of love. All in all, this is a good book worth reading and I recommend it to you!
