{"product_id":"the-great-goddess-and-the-vincent-vycinas-9780820412641","title":"The Great Goddess and the Aistian Mythical World","description":"This study presents development of European mythical culture, which began with the cults of the Great Goddess some 30,000-20,000 B.C. and flourished in Europe for millennia. This matriarchic culture - invaded by the patriarchic Indo-Europeans (Pre-Aistians), the worshippers of sky deities (3,000 B.C.) - remained alive in the souls of the Indo-Europeans, especially the Aistians. Moreover, during the break-down of the patriarchic order, the matriarchic deities surfaced and became dominant again. Thus they closed the cycle of mythical development. At its end this study shows philosophy's cyclic development, analogous to that of the mythical. Ultimately, this study suggests Old Europe's matriarchic culture as the cradle of Western civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vincent Vycinas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820412643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820412641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Vincent Vycinas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457732555007,"sku":"9780820412641","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc5c5223-3307-4305-9d66-303eb2ba7ddd.jpg?v=1777400705","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-goddess-and-the-vincent-vycinas-9780820412641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
